The Gallo hit has Vito's revenge written all over it. On the anniversary of Nicolo Rizzuto's death. Definitely a message being sent there.

The death toll of players who sided against vito continues to grow. Gallo was quite influential. This is a pretty significant hit.

It seems every November (or in 2009 December) a major murder has occurred, with Nick Rizzuto Jr. killed December '09, Nicolo Rizzuto killed 2010, Sal the Ironworker killed 2011, Joe Di Maulo killed 2012, and now Gallo 2013... Here's an updated list of confirmed and possible Montreal Mafia related murders, shootings, and disappearances:

"I would rather live in Europe than face assassination in Montreal as members of the Rizzuto clan are knocked off one by one"

---Moreno Gallo

Damn that list is crazy. Is there any American LCN family racking up bodies like that currently?

Mexican authorities confirmed to The Gazette on Monday that Gallo, 68, was killed in Acapulco on Sunday, three years to the day that his former ally, Nicolo (Zio Cola) Rizzuto, 86, was felled by a sniper's bullet.

Local newspapers are reporting that Gallo was killed execution style by four men, not two. Gallo was dining with his friend, the owner of Forza Italia. The restaurant was nearly empty except for about eight wait-staff and the cook.

Witnesses told El Sur newspaper that Gallo was sitting at a table near the entrance. He fell to the ground and lay in a pool of blood beside the table.

Police are quoted in the newspaper as saying that his body was riddled with at least nine bullets.

One police source recently told The Gazette that Gallo was believed to be in the same boat as Joseph Di Maulo, 70, another influential Mafioso who was gunned down in front of his home in Blainville on Nov. 4, 2012. Both men were once considered allies of the Rizzuto organization even if they didn't share the same Sicilian origins as Nicolo Rizzuto, the patriarch of the clan.

They tried to take down Joseph at his clothing store in Old Montreal but it got botched and he escaped. He still walks around freely and i've seen him at Greek restaurants, so he doesn't take as much precaution as he should considering his past.

Gallo was Calabrese and he didn't show enough loyalty. It might partially be his fault that Nick Sr. got taken out since he was once a "mediator" between rival clans, hence the revenge hit.

is that the pic of gallo? weres the hole in his head. 9 shots . maybe it went threw his ear. I remember reading that book the 6th family 3yrs ago everyone in the book is probably dead now except for vito. who the hell is helping him, he must have got a clan of zips to come over. in nyc you got tons of Italians 5 yrs ago I didn't even think there were Italian people in cananda, thought everyone was French or indian.
