Police have captured a suspect in a fatal Staten Island stabbing, pulling him out of his car in front of a Manhattan pizzeria, police sources said.

Richard Gambale, 41, was wanted for the Thursday slaying of Anthony Perretti, 43, in a Staten Island industrial park.

Perretti, who back in 1995 fatally stabbed a bouncer in an upstate nightclub, was arguing with Gambale about money owed when the dispute got physical on Industrial Loop East in Rossville, sources said.

Gambale, a Great Kills man who police sources said has ties to organized crime, owns Lollipop Couture, a children’s fashion store in Tottenville. He also worked as a dump truck driver at a contracting firm in the industrial park, sources said.

The bloodshed broke out after Perretti got a hold of a metal fence post and hit Gambale in the chest, sources said. Gambale then pulled out a knife and repeatedly stabbed Perretti, the sources said.

He then told one of his co-workers to call 911, and drove off in his Black Mercedes, sources said.

Cops found Perretti’s three-year-old son in his car at the scene, apparently uninjured, sources said.
They tracked down Gambale Monday afternoon, in a car on 14th Street and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan.

Ricardo Nocelotl, a manager at The Slice pizzeria, saw detectives in unmarked cars take Gambale down. “He was stopped at a red light. The cops had cornered him from the front and the rear,” Nocelotl said. “They pulled him out of the driver’s seat.”

Cops then forced him to the ground and cuffed his hands and feet, while a woman sitting in the back seat of Gambale’s white four-door watched, NocelOtl said. “Wow, man, it was crazy,” Nocelotl said.

Members of the New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force made the collar, sources said. Gambale’s been charged with murder and weapon possession.

Perretti, who back in 1995 fatally stabbed a bouncer in an upstate nightclub

A bit tangential, but the club was Heartbreak Hotel at Hunter mountain, owned by Alan Chalem who was killed by Russian mobsters (allegedly) back in 99. He was involved in pump and dump scams, among other things. He hung out with a lot of young Columbo guys in Brooklyn back in the 90s. He had a motel in the Hamptons in those days too.

This guy Perretti was originally from Bath Beach, the high numbered Bay streets. He was in jail for the Hunter murder until just a couple of years ago.

So these guy's are connected to the Colombos?

I don't think so RE: Perretti. He was just a wanna be punk kid asshole when he killed the bouncer. Was headed for trouble before he killed the bouncer and has been in quite a bit of trouble since he got out.

I don't know Gambale, so I don't know if he's affiliated to any family, local papers are reporting he was on federal probation for conspiracy related to ecstasy, so it's definitely possible. He's also using Vinnie Romano as his lawyer, so again, definitely possible.

Chalem was though. He did a lot of business with Allie, Danny, Sean Persico. One long time rumor is that Danny killed him. Reading about Perretti reminded me of that old murder.

I remember DeCavalcante Capo Philip Abramo was also linked to that 1999 murder. Abramo was also involved in pump and dump scams so that was probably the connection.
