Steve Ferrigno
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Ferrigno (ca.1900 - November 5, 1930) was a Sicilian born immigrant to the United States who went on to become the underboss of the Brooklyn Camorra - a neopolitan gang active during the height of the Prohibition era. The Castellammarese War, between rival New York bosses Joe Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano, claimed many victims, including Mineo and Ferrigno who were ambushed and killed on November 5, 1930, outside of Ferrigno's home at 759 Pelham Parkway South by Joe Profaci, Nick Capuzzi, Joe Valachi and a hitman known only as Buster from Chicago.
