Attilio Pecora was an ally of Pittsburgh's Volpe crime family and best friends with John Volpe. With the deaths of three of the Volpes the previous July, Pecora, it was stated, was setting up to run the numbers and booze rackets in East Pittsburgh, Wilmerding and Turtle Creek.
On September 3, 1932 Pecora was standing outside his fruit store when a car pulled up to the curb down the street and somebody called to him. Pecora made his way to the car. In a flash, a shot gun appeared in the front passenger window and out the back window. Both went off and Pecora crumbled to the ground.
