Detroit Family:

Carlo Bommarito(2007)
Pete Cavataio(1985)
Carlo Licata(1981)
NIck Ditta, Joe Siragusa, Frank Randazzo(1976)(Not sanctioned)
Joseph Moceri(1968)(Not sanctioned)
Pete Lombardo(1965)
Onofrio Minaudo(1965)
Paul Cimino(1964ish)
Salvatore Vitale(1956)
Joe Tocco(1938)
Joe Amico(1938)

Before that you get into the Crosstown Mob War of 1930-1931 and then its a lot of people and anyone's guess as to who was a member or not.

I believe that Carlo Bommarito's death was ruled an overdose. I realize that there have been reports that Vito Giacalone wanted him dead and got permission from Carlo's father to have the suicide done to him, but this has not been verified. Not saying that it is not true, just that unlike the other names on your list there is no absolute proof that Bommarito was killed.

Perfectly valid point. Along those same lines Carlo Licata's death is also officially a suicide.

What happened with Martin 'Jinks' DeSaverio? Does anyone know how or why he was killed? There isn't much on the web about this guy. He was the brother in law of Ralph Mosca of the Gambinos.
