A mere two days after New York City's most powerful Mafia chief, Joe "the Boss" Masseria, was gunned down. Ernest "Hoppy" Rossi was driving his Cadillac in Brooklyn when he was stopped behind a truck. Unable to go anywhere, he was a sitting duck for the car that drove up along side him and let loose with a barrage of fire. Hit in the head and neck, Rossi slumped over dead.
Two men who were in the back seat jumped out and ran. It is probable that the two men were mafia guys Carmelo Liconti and Johnny "Silk Stocking" Giustra, loyal Masseria men who were on the spot themselves after the murder of "the Boss."
