Frank Fresca shooting was definitely Bonanno related.

Great write up, thanks for putting it together.

Massino gives a different reason for Mauro murder; that Mauro shot up a club owned by a Gambino member, was given a pass, and then did it again three to four months later, then he was killed.

Tartaglione also tells a story of seeing Russell and "Beansie", maybe John Campanella shooting up a bar sometime before his murder.

-Joseph Di Maulo 2012
-Moreno Gallo (unconfirmed member but 99% he was IMHO) 2013

agostino cuntrera was also a member probably

Thanks for bringing up Montreal Motorfab, there was also Salvatore Montagna in 2011.

Sylvester Zottola was another Bonanno associate shot in June of 2019.

Whoops, my mistake the article I glanced at was from June 2019, the murder was in October 2018.

I have doubts about it, I think he was made at the Cuntrera-Caruana Clan. But it's not impossible that he has a double membership, in doubt I preferred to refrain from including him ...

And yes thekiduknow, Montagna too, I hadn't seen that he wasn't on the list

We should do this for all the families im curious to how many whacks have been committed by all five families since the 1990s

Appreciate the support. Never knew about that other motive for Mauro’s killing.

#9 Really doesn’t belong on this list. 4 idiots who were high shot a lady during a botched robbery? None of them made members of the Bonanno family and this murder was not ordered by a member of the family.

It wasn’t an ordered hit but it was still carried out by Bonanno associates.
