Your daily dose of old world gangsters who were rubbed out doing what they loved most. Plus some other fun stuff.

"He must have done something. They don't kill you for nothing." - Chicago Gangster Ted Newberry. Rubbed out January 7, 1933

It's dangerous outside, why don't you kids stay in the building and play.
Eighty-two years ago today in Harlem a group of children came face to face with gangland when they encountered twenty-four year old Anthony Sancione
in the hall way of a tenement with two bullets in his head. The kids fetched a policeman who found that Anthony was
still alive. An ambulance was called but the wounded man died en-route to
the hospital. His record showed that he had been arrested numerous times
but never convicted.

"The kids fetched a policeman..."
I guess that was before the whole Stop Snitchin' campaign got started. ;)
Yes, this was a result of the "If you find a dead guy tell a cop!" Campaign. Popular in Manhattan, the "Stop Snitchin'" was a Brooklyn thing during the Murder Inc. years.
