General Chicago Outfit Info Dumping Ground

Trunk music is a language understood by all peoples the world over. Cue "It's a Small World".

I defy you to find a single case of Yakuza Trunk Music.

I think it’s safe to say that it is not Outfit related. The victim is a 15 year old kid

Personally I don't think burning cars with a body should be considered Trunk Music even if the body is located physically in the trunk.

It's just not the same without the spooky abandoned car that no one notices for a few days, and then someone is like "hey that car hasn't moved in a week", and then the smell gets really noticeable, making random passers-by think "Is that the sewer or something?" when the odor snags them away from their stupor as they stroll along, culminating in the cops finally coming over and popping the trunk and gagging like in the Spiltoro hits montage in Casino. Plus if the body itself gets incinerated it will produce little if any "Music" as whatever's left of it decays.

Oh wow, thanks.

What is this Menta Academy thing? Is that a private school? Looks like it on google. Was this kid from a well-off family?

Just the opposite. All or most of the students have special needs.

\--Per SBs sources Montoro is well-liked by Cicero crew admin and per these same sources Montoro has family in the Rockford area, traveling there frequently (& which may have brought him to the area for the crime in question).

Thanks for sharing. Joey Montoro is definitely a career, hardened, criminal from Berwyn and I believe his family was originally from San Lucido, Cosenza. Not sure who he would be related to in Rockford.

He was pinched in 2006 for a burglary and given a year in Vienna. A week after being paroled in 2007, he got pinched with two accomplices (presumably all ATSPN) for sticking up a Dunkin Donuts in North Riverside. He got 7 years for that. Then, within months of his parole in 2014, he was pinched again for sticking up an IL State Gaming Commission Agent in Berwyn for ~$50k in cash from gaming machines. He was of course on parole when he was yet again knocked in November.

I believe that this is a photo of Joey Montoro, but I don’t know for which arrest:

[Tonyd621]

He is connected to the outfit, but these are not outfit related crimes? Am I tracking?

[Tonyd621]

He has got the long hair...not hard to pick him out in a lineup

Thanks, the one I posted was clearly old.

Any idea what to make of his alleged Rockford connections?
