Ta Da!

On this date in the year that Europe erupted into global conflict, twenty-six year old John Randazzo was shot and killed while walking in the east village. The only motives were speculative. It's possible that Randazzo was a member of the Goldmine Jimmy Gang knocked off by the Kenmare Street Gang. He may have also been related to a snitch who was found with twenty-two stab wounds in a saloon in that proximity earlier in the year(post coming in 2009). I posit that he was killed because his name sounded to much like that of a magician "Randazzo the Great!" and the underworld couldn't live with it. If you have any theories as to why JR was put on the spot please post.
