The mafia didn’t kill Gambino boss Francesco “Franky Boy” Cali — a twentysomething Staten Island hothead with a personal beef did, police and sources said Saturday.
Anthony Comello, 24, a non-mobster who works odd construction jobs, was named as the suspect who blasted at least ten slugs into Cali, 53, on the street outside the boss’s brick mansion.
It was the first assassination of a New York City mob boss since an upstart John Gotti had Gambino boss Paul Castellano whacked outside Sparks Steak House in 1985. Investigators quickly feared a mob war in the making.

Yeah OK :)
FBI mad that an “asset” was offlined.
Look up the number of murders in Todt Hill, which consists of doctors, lawyers, investment bankers and mobsters.
It just HAPPENED to be the one of the heads of the Gambino family that gets killed by someone in a fit of rage.
Sure.
24 year old dead man walking.
It’s laughable.
NO WAY the kid wouldn’t know who he was and NO WAY he wouldn’t know the repercussions.
WE ALL know the repercussions out here.
You’re right. He’s dead.
In prison or out.
He’s dead.
Unless he’s in SHU his entire sentence and even that isn’t guaranteed safety.
I like it when bad guys die.
I couldn’t wait to see your comments on this today.
Huh, He was right.
Sources quoting sources? Guess they're being extra cautious with this story.

mid story
Though the neighborhood has generally low crime rates, a brazen crime spree in the 1990s laid bare the neighborhood’s Mafia connections. Investigators tracking a series of burglaries learned that several organized crime members had been victims, leading to an uneasy chase between the police and the mobsters to find the burglars first. The thieves had made off with more than $2 million in cash, electronics and jewelry, including pinkie rings.
“How’s Comello?”
“You won’t see him no more.”
$2 million!!
No one asked me!!
That didn’t work out well for Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts in “The Pop of Greenwich Village” :)
POPE!! :)
The boy has the life expectancy of a house fly.
LOL
And the dead guy’s crew is mostly Sicilian immigrants.
If they were to kidnap him, he would die in an agonizing way that none of us would ever want to even think about.
But either way, he’s dead.
I don’t understand what would motivate that kid to shoot a made guy in the Mafia.
Could the Russian or Albanian mobs be involved somehow?
Pick up some cannoli.
Anything is possible.
The dumbass should have simply contracted with one of the local MS-13 scumbags to do the job.
