Harlem Scuffle

Ninety-six years ago two guys, Jerry Goillo and Leonardo Crimni, were shot down in Harlem by two other men but other then the names of the victims not much info was given about the shooting.(Most newspaper space was devoted to news about the Titanic) Police however felt that the gun battle fought later that day between Calogerro Morello and rival Charley Baker was a direct result of the shooting. For info on the latter gun battle and the participants check out Gangster City.
