Shortly before midnight on August 25, 1933 Buffalo, New York bootlegger Salvatore "Sam" Callea sat at the wheel of his car while his brother/partner, Vincenzo, stood by out front of their beer garden. A sedan containing around five men drove by and suddenly the area was alive with pistol and rifle fire. When the smoke cleared Sam was slouched over the steering wheel dead and his brother was prone on the sidewalk, his life ebbing away. Two bystanders were also wounded in the drive-by. Though they didn't say why, police asserted that the gunmen were imported from Cleveland, Ohio for the job.
