Was reading the Larry Mazza book, and he describes the reason why Jimmy Angelina was killed by Carmine Sessa.
According to Mazza it was a move from Vic Orena to poll the captains by Angelina to look where they stood.
This cost him his life. But was that the real reason why he was killed, a consigliere for years....
I personally think he was a Persico loyalist til the end.....anyone got a pic of him, never saw one.

Re: jimmy angelina
If I remember right Capeci said he was killed for trying to make a power play against Persico and Orena. This was of course before Orena and Persico had their falling out.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

Re: jimmy angelina
Yeah, Angellino was killed before the falling out. And according to Scarpa, he was killed because he had refused to step down from his consigliere/acting consigliere position.
There you have it, never printed before.

Re: jimmy angelina
Rocco Cagno gave info on this hit when he flipped on his brother. Cagno brothers were involved on that hit. Angelina was killed in Rocco's NJ home. Randazzo was there too. Below is some detail on that murder and other stuff revolving around the NJ Colombo crew.
"Defendant's brother Rocco was the principal witness for the State. Together with Jimmy Randazzo and others, defendant and Rocco participated in the murder of Jimmy Angellino at Rocco's home in Kenilworth, New Jersey in 1988. Thereafter, the brothers and Lombardino were involved in the May 1993 execution of Randazzo in Tinton Falls, New Jersey.
efendant and his brother, Rocco, had been associated with La Cosa Nostra (LCN) since the late 1960s or early 1970s. Rocco was involved with "ookmaking, cigarette smuggling [and] murder." In 1977, Rocco and Randazzo committed a murder. Randazzo, a loan shark, asked Rocco to assist in killing a man who owed him money. Randazzo brought the man to Rocco's bar which was closed for the day. Rocco "hit [the man] in the head with a club"; both Randazzo and Rocco then choked him. Randazzo put the body in the trunk of his car. Rocco did not know the victim's name or where Randazzo disposed of the body. Rocco was not questioned by the police about this murder and was unaware if Randazzo had been questioned.
In July 1987 Randazzo told Rocco that he and defendant were going to be "made." Randazzo, Rocco, defendant and Tony Scianna, an acting Colombo capo, drove to Queens, New York where the "making" ceremony took place. Randazzo was Rocco's sponsor. Their fingers were pricked with a needle and their blood was smeared on a cardboard image of a saint, which was ignited. Holding the burning saint, Rocco swore that if he broke the oath of silence (Omerta) he would "burn in hell as [the] saint . . . burn[ed] in [his] hand." He also promised that he would "do a piece of work" (kill someone) if requested.
Rocco further testified that he and defendant participated in the murder of Angellino in November 1988. Rocco's home was selected as the site because it could be accessed through the garage without anybody being seen from the driveway. It was decided that Carmine Sessa and Billy Cutolo would do the shooting from the top of the steps because they were capos and Angellino, the intended victim, was an acting consigliere. Defendant, who was armed, was instructed to hide and be ready as a back-up to the shooters.
Randazzo brought Angellino to Rocco's house. Rocco, who had stashed his gun in the basement, opened the garage door for them. The lights went out and Rocco heard shots. When the lights went on, "Angellino was in a corner on the bottom of the steps." Angellino's body was put into a body bag that Randazzo had brought, and was placed in the trunk of Randazzo's car.
In 1991 or 1992, Rocco had new steps installed in the area where Angellino was killed. Defendant relayed a message to Rocco from Carmine Sessa that Rocco should have this work done to thwart any search for blood. In view of a developing internal struggle within the family, there was a fear that someone would "turn" with regard to the Angellino murder.
Randazzo was an acting captain of Sal Profaci's crew, to which defendant and Rocco were assigned in 1992. Beginning in 1980 Rocco began borrowing money from Randazzo. Rocco told Randazzo that he lent out the borrowed money. Over a fourteen- to fifteen- year period, Rocco repaid close to $400,000 against loans totaling $40,000.
After Randazzo was incarcerated in 1992, Dominic Prosperi collected payments from Randazzo's debtors. Pursuant to a search warrant, in December 1992 the FBI recovered Randazzo's loanshark notebook from the residence of Joseph Prosperi, Dominic's father. Rocco was visiting Randazzo in jail when they learned that Randazzo's notebook had been seized by the FBI. Randazzo became upset and said he (Randazzo) was "dead."
As a result of Randazzo's reaction, Rocco became concerned that Randazzo would "turn" and implicate him in the two murders described above. Rocco spoke about his concerns with Lombardino and with defendant, who also could have been implicated in the Angellino murder. All three were in favor of killing Randazzo, and spoke with that purpose in mind "over the next couple of months." Rocco became more concerned when he learned that Randazzo was calling in his loans and selling his car, indicating that Randazzo "was getting ready to leave." Defendant and Lombardino shared Rocco's concerns.
Rocco became increasingly worried when Randazzo showed him an April 13, 1993 newspaper article that reported that Carmine Sessa was cooperating with the authorities. According to Rocco, Randazzo said he could understand why Sessa turned. Sal Profaci also expressed concerns about Randazzo.
As noted above, under LCN's rules, the killing of a "made" member must be sanctioned. However, Rocco, defendant, and Lombardino decided not to get approval for the Randazzo murder. At a meeting attended by Profaci, Rocco, defendant and Lombardino, Lombardino said "we ought to whack Jimmy Randazzo."
The plan to kill Randazzo took shape as Randazzo sought to meet with Profaci. Refusing, Profaci, said that Randazzo "had too much heat [law enforcement] on him and he [Profaci] didn't trust him anymore." Rocco told Randazzo that he would "have to wait awhile for the meeting."
After rejecting Bloomfield as a place for the murder, Rocco, defendant and Lombardino chose the shore area. At one time, defendant had operated a pizza restaurant and an equipment supply company in Long Branch, and he lived in Toms River.
A hotel parking lot in Tinton Falls was the planned site of Randazzo's murder. On Monday May 17, 1993, Rocco met defendant and Lombardino at the parking lot. Rocco had refused Randazzo's earlier request to ride with him to the lot on the pretense that Rocco had an earlier meeting with Profaci. Upon meeting Lombardino and defendant, Rocco got in the rear seat of Lombardino's car and Lombardino drove to a nearby Holiday Inn with defendant in the front passenger seat. Rocco gave Lombardino the gun to use in the killing.
The trio met Randazzo at the Holiday Inn; that location was rejected as the murder site because it was too crowded. Defendant, who was designated as the shooter, was to ride with Randazzo in his car from the Holiday Inn to the other hotel where the killing was to take place. Rocco and Lombardino were to follow as "back-up."
At the Holiday Inn, Lombardino parked his car behind Randazzo's. Rocco hid the gun as Randazzo approached. In response to Randazzo's question about what he was doing there, Rocco replied that Profaci was at the other hotel. Defendant told Randazzo that he would ride with him.
After Randazzo and defendant got in the driver and passenger seats of Randazzo's car, they engaged in a "struggle." Lombardino and Rocco got out of Lombardino's car. Before Lombardino got to the driver's side door of Randazzo's car, Rocco heard a shot. After trying to get a clean shot to avoid hitting defendant, Lombardino fired once into Randazzo's car through the driver's open door and fired a second shot in Rocco's direction. Rocco did not have his gun with him as it remained on the back floor of Lombardino's car. Aside from Lombardino's two shots, Rocco heard two or three others.
Rocco saw a man in the parking lot taking down a plate number, other men in an upstairs window of the hotel, and a woman crossing the lot who began to run when she heard the shots.
Lombardino reentered the driver's seat of his car and Rocco got in front. Staggering, defendant left Randazzo's car and leaned against a wall. Upon Lombardino's urging, defendant got in the back seat of Lombardino's car.
The license plate number of Lombardino's vehicle was observed by bystanders, and Lombardino was identified from a photo array. Other observers described the assailants.
After driving away from the parking lot, Rocco cleaned the guns of fingerprints and threw them out the car window onto a grassy area. Rocco did not remove his gun from the plastic bag before disposing of it.
As Rocco recalled it, in response to Rocco's comment that he hoped Randazzo was dead, defendant replied, "he is I put another one in his head." Defendant also told Rocco that he had hurt his shoulder. Because defendant had blood on his clothes, the trio attempted to find a K-Mart to buy new clothes but the store was closed. Rocco was dropped off at the parking lot where he parked his car and departed. After Rocco got home, he went to bed.
In 1993 both Rocco and defendant habitually smoked non-filtered Pall Mall cigarettes. On the night of the murder, Rocco brought a different brand of cigarettes, explaining, "Pall Mall they would know . . . I just brought a different brand to try to throw anything off the track." Defendant may have asked Rocco for a cigarette, but Rocco was not sure.
A search warrant and search inventory from the Prosperi search were found on the front passenger floor of Randazzo's car. A .38-caliber discharged bullet was discovered in the parking lot next to Randazzo's car and two bullet fragments were taken from the passenger's side front floor of the car.
FBI Special Agent Butler had been involved in the investigation of Randazzo's loansharking operation and became involved in the investigation of his murder. Becoming aware that a car registered to Lombardino was suspected to have been connected to the murder, Butler suggested that local authorities attempt to locate Lombardino, defendant and Peter Campisi. A search of Lombardino's home produced a box of .38-caliber ammunition and an empty holster."
"Defendant's brother Rocco was the principal witness for the State. Together with Jimmy Randazzo and others, defendant and Rocco participated in the murder of Jimmy Angellino at Rocco's home in Kenilworth, New Jersey in 1988.

Re: jimmy angelina
Great stuff! How old are the Cagno brothers? What's their DOB? Jimmy Randazzo's too?
Re: jimmy angelina
Ray http://www.state.nj.us/oag/ge/exclusion ... urelio.htm DOB 1940 rotting in NJ state Prison for Life. His brother Rocco Died many yrs ago in NC where he was living after entering Witness protection program. Randazzo was older then them I believe. Ray & Rocco Cagno ran w/ the Campisi's Newark crew initially. That's how they ended up in the Colombo family. They are all gone now. There really hasn't been an active NJ based Colombo crew since the early 90s when these guys got locked up. You got NY based Colombo crew members living in Central NJ. By they are not a NJ based crew. They belong to Staten Island and Brooklyn crews. Anthony Stripoli being one. When there was a Colombo crew most if not all the guys were from Newark and towns around Newark like East Orange etc. Profaci was a NY guy that moved to NJ and later was placed Capo of what was left of the NJ crew. Colombo's crews seem to just operate in NY. Gambino's are headed that way too. They never really rebuilt the Newark/Belleville crew after Bobby went down. All you had left was Nicky Mita(the old man) and then Jackie made Merola. Merola's crew had the last surviving made member of Bobby's crew in it. He died before going to trial of lung Cancer.(Buddy). Unless Merola gets out and makes a bunch of East hanover middle class kids from the burbs...its down the tubes for them too. Seems the Gambino's have really just focused on expanding in Long Island the last 10yrs or so instead of Jersey. Probably more Gambino crews active in Long Island now then ever before.

Re: jimmy angelina
Thanks for the info Rocco, where did you get it, never seen this.
