Unsolved hits related to OC

[mike68]

Did they ever find out who killed the Persico cousin, Chris Mignone?

Wiseguy that is an awesome list. I would add the guy that got whacked at a McDonalds, his son who got shot up and survived on camera, the guy who got dumped in the river, and the loan shark who was shot in the head and first suspected to be a suicide, all toward the end of the decade. (I can't remember the names of any of those guys, lol.) These weren't straightforward mob hits but they were mob-linked guys and part of the general miasma of violence that surrounds these people, and if you've got the Cali hit on there you might as well include them.

As far as formal mob hits go, I can't help but wonder if there wasn't some kind of moratorium put in place in about 2013 similar to the one after the Colombo War, and we just don't know about it.

Thanks a lot man I for the life of me could not remember any of their names. Used to be able to memorize every DeMeo crew hit or St. Valentine's Day massacre victim with no effort but now that's in the past lol, getting old.

A lot of people say that hits like these and the Cali hit do not "count" as mob hits but I disagree; these are murders that would not have happened if these guys weren't part of that violent world (even Cali would still be alive today if he weren't a notorious mob boss and therefore came to the attention of a nutjob). Maybe it would be a good idea to just use an umbrella term like "mob-linked killings and attempted killings."

I think the distinction they're making is many of them are more of a personal nature than official crime family business.

Yeah I want to hear that. I've never heard of the Colombos being connected to that.

For the most low key family, the Genovese have a lot of hits.

[Pmac2]

That guy anthony pandrella was on trial for vincent zito murder. Im pretty sure there was opening statements. I never heard the verdict. Something must have stoped it

[Dave65827]

I know this doesn’t count as it’s solved but I’ve always been fascinated by the Meldish hit. They did a 80s style hit in 2013. I wish londonio would’ve flipped so we could’ve gotten the fool scoop of how the hit went down

Also very interested in the 2011 killing of Christopher Castellano as they have Genovese guys on tapes discussing why he got whacked but no suspects

[davidf1989]

What happened to Sally Burns Granello? I think that he was a friend of Vito Genovese according to the article below who ended up being murdered.
