Champion Dancer Slai Shot After Walk in the Bronx
Rocco Ciano of 594 Morris Avenue Bronx died last night at Lebanon Hospital after being shot in the back and jaw as he walked with cousin Nicholas Sanducci between 150th and 151st Streets. Police say the killer, an Italian stockily built man, fled in an automobile. Sanducci, detained as a material witness, said he knew no reason for the assassination. Police suspect jealousy linked to Ciano’s dancing championships and prior local gang activity, noting a fight before the killing at an engine house near Morris Avenue.
