Four Shot Down In Gangland Feud
In Cleveland the East Side’s bloody corner was torn apart as four men were shot in a feud between the Porcello and Lonardo factions. Raymon and Rosario Porrello were killed, Dominic Mangino died later, and Joseph Mamonti was wounded and not expected to live. The massacre occurred in a cigar store during a card game, with three executioners firing automatic pistols at close range.
