Forgot to include Rocco Maniscalco - Philly bookmaker killed June 10th, 2010 remains unsolved
As I heard he may have been killed by Drug dealers but it could also be Philly as it remains unsolved

No joke when I researched this there where like half a dozen shady overdoses all the way from Detroit to all the 5 families

[NJShore4Life]

Rocco Maniscalco in 2010 in Philly, one of the cleanest Philly LCN hits ever in recent times.

Rocco Maniscalco in 2010 in Philly, one of the cleanest Philly LCN hits ever in recent times.

Someone told me it may have been drug dealers but I doubt they could’ve done a clean hit like that so maybe I’ll put it in. The Philly family ain’t the brightest in LCN but they have a pretty decent record when it comes to unsolved the murders with the exception of Dipietro

That wasn’t a drug crew hit in that neighborhood no way, trust me. He was a bookmaker and also auto body shop scammer which are two areas Philly LCN is big into.

[Moscone65]

The 2000 Rochester hit of anything Vaccaro would fit in the second category

[cavita]

I believe the driver of the getaway car, can't remember his name, fingered Anthony Calabrese as Chiarmonti's killer. Calabrese ended up dying in prison a couple years ago.

[cavita]

Also, Ronald Jarrett was shot multiple times in December 1999 and died of his wounds January 2000. His killer was never prosecuted.

[scott22]

John (John John) Jarjosa, Jr, was killed in 2001 in Detroit, not 2000. His dad has gotten into a physical altercation with Allen Hilf broken up by Jackie Giacalone in the months before and had just been jailed in the GAMETAX case when John John was banged out on 8 Mile .

Jarrett, Chiaramonte, and Zizzo (presumed) are the three hits in the last ~20 years of known Outfit members and associates. On the boards we've identified several other possible Outfit related murders in the last 12 years.

Anthony Catalano: Went missing under suspicious circumstances in March 2009 after leaving his Bryn Mawr Ave home on Chicago's Northwest side. Catalano has never been found and internet rumors have long linked him to notorious disgraced physician and alleged Elmwood Park associate Joseph Giacchino, who ran a pill mill in Melrose Park.

Michael DeFillipis: Said to have been a friend and drug dealing partner of Anthony Catalano. DeFillipis was found beaten and stabbed to death in his condo near Grand and Harlem in December of 2009. Police recovered a prescription for 300 pills of Norco 10 in his glove compartment. In 2008 De Fillipis was busted by police after rolling his car over and was facing narcotics possession charges at the time of his death.

Norberto "Tank" Vélez: Vélez was an alleged enforcer/collector for the Outfit. In November 2010 he was found shot to death in the hallway of his Wrigleyville apartment building. Notably, Vélez's neighbor across the hall was Grand Ave associate Jeff Hollingshead, who was later arrested in 2013 on home invasion and racketeering charges. Scott B has reported that Hollingshead subsequently provided info to LE on several Outfit-related murders.

Giacomo Ruggirello: Ruggirello was a Sicilian-born restaurateur who owned the popular Trattoria Ruggirello in the affluent North Shore suburb of Highwood. In September of 2010, Ruggirello was found dead in a house fire at his home in nearby Highland Park. Police discovered that earlier the same day Ruggirello's restaurant had been burglarized and its safe stolen. His death was ruled a homicide. Later in 2017, the Chicago Tribune reported that the FBI had overheard reputed Outfit associate and former CPD officer Steve Mandell discussing the fire the day that it occurred. Mandell is currently serving a life sentence in Florence ADMAX for a gruesome kidnapping/extortion/torture/murder plot of a Chicago businessman in 2012 (while awaiting trial in 2013 Mandell also tried to have a witness in his case killed). Another detail worth noting is that in 2013, the Tribune reported that shortly before his death Ruggirello had rewrote his will to disinherit his daughters and leave his estate to a friend, Vincenzo Governali of Corleone, Sicily (The Corleone mafia has of course had members by the last name Governali/Governale, including one time capo Antonio Governale).

James Gerage: Gerage was a resident of affluent Barrington Hills and co-owner with his brother Chuck of Omega Demolition Corp., based in suburban Elgin. The company has been described as "troubled" by the Chicago press, due to a worksite fatality and scrutiny over potential "sweetheart" contract deals with the mayor of Rosemont. In September of 2016, Gerage was found beaten to death and set ablaze in his car in a largely vacant industrial section in the Near Southwest Side along the South Branch of the Chicago River. The Gerages have been rumored to have links to the Grand Ave Crew, and Scott B reported that sources in Chicago LE suspect that the murder was a mob hit. In 2019 the Tribune reported that convicted murderer Losardo Lucas was a person of interest in Gerage's murder, but so far as I know no charges have ever been filed and the case remains unsolved

I think a father and son "hung" themselves in NY or NJ I can't remember crap anymore

Thank you maybe I’ll create a third Category of “suspected hits” I believe there are a few suspected hits in Southern Florida with the Genovese crew too or maybe I’m misremembering something . These Chicago guys and Philly seem to get these hits done more professionally

The one I believe the most that was foul play is that one Detroit guy Carlo Bommarito was The ambassador to the Albanian,Biker gangs and was basically a total fuck up, drug addict and skimming some of the money himself

[NJShore4Life]

Here’s another one in Jersey they think might be a DeCav hit, specifically the Abramo Crew:

I think you can add the Monty Massimi homicide in 2007 to this list. Monty and his murderer, Sam Vacanti, both appear to have significant connections to members and/or associates of Italian organized crime in Buffalo and elsewhere (or what is left of IOC in Buffalo-depending on your view.) viewtopic.php?p=140553#p140553
