New York city starbucks sits on West 57th Street where Albert Anastasia was killed fifty years ago in a barber shop. The mob boss head of Murder Inc. was gunned down as two gunmen fired and vanished. Today patrons sip coffee unaware of the brutal history that haunts the site.
Albert Anastasia born Umberto Anastasio in Italy on September 26, 1902 immigrated to the United States around 1919 and worked on the Brooklyn waterfront. He helped kill mob boss Joe Masserla in 1931, led Murder Inc., and became boss of the Mangano family in the 1950s, which evolved into the Gambino crime family, before being murdered on October 25, 1957 at a Park Sheraton barbershop by two gunmen amid power struggles.
In early 2004 Vincent Basciano led the Bonanno family but was soon jailed, signaling a broader collapse. Across Chicago, Florida, and New York, aging mobsters face prison or retirement while the Commission falters, turncoats rise, and the once mighty Mafia fights to survive without strong leadership.
