Fats Buccelli a Brink’s gunman found shot in Boston
John Fats Buccelli a 44 year old noted Brink’s case figure was discovered shot dead behind the wheel of a sedan in Boston’s South End. Police and medical examiners linked the killing to a murder rather than a crash, noting a smashed door window and bleeding from ears and mouth. Buccelli had prior narcotics prison ties and half a decade of federal time in New York. He faced connections to the Brink’s robbery and had associates tied to other mob-linked figures, including Edward Bennett, with broader ties to Elmer Burke.
