I read about a Lucchese soldier who was killed by Frank Lucas's organization back in the 70s, and no consequences of the act were ever reported.

Have their ever been any other known murders of made guys by other OC groups?

Carmine Pugliese and 5 other murders:

But is 26 too young? Bonanno was boss at 26, Yonnie Licavoli at 23, Riccobene was made at 18. I thought cases like Ligambi made in his 40s were rarer.

Those were different times back then. Youngsters grew up a lot more faster in the 1920s/1930s than they did later on. And in the case of Bonanno, he had the pedigree. From the 1970s and on, cases of mobsters getting made although still in their 20s, are extremely rare.

I think there was also a case in the 50s in Chicago were a made member was killed by a an African-American gangster. Retaliations followed ofcourse. Tough im not sure how or what the background was for the killings.

I recall reading somewhere that Alphonse Trucchio was made at a young age. Do you know if he was in his late 20's or early 30's Hairy?

jimmy burke killed billy batts, and buried his body. tommy desimone got whacked for it. not burke.

burke and his crew probably killed more made guys, and got away with it. I guess big earners can whack made guys.

Carmine Pugliese was 26 at the time of his death (July 1976) which (according to logic) seems to suggest he was too young to have been made. Newspapers at the time talked about his brothers being involved with the Lucchese Family, but I have never seen anything that points at any of them actually being made. Besides, Carmine Pugliese was considered to be an informant. If anything, Barnes did the Luccheses a favor (and it was probably sanctioned).

MR. OINTINO: Mr. Barnes, you have made
a statement that the supplier who was determined to be an informant named Carmine Pugliese, you decided to terminate this individual?

THE WITNESS: Yes. sir.
MR. DINTINO: Did the Council seek permission from anyone to terminate this individual, outside of your own council?

THE WITNESS: No, we didn't. We didn't require supervision from anyone.
We weren't subjected to any intimidation by any outside group_

MR. DINTINO: Do you know if he was connected to any of the seven Hafia families in New York City?
THE WITNESS: We didn't know. We werent
interested.

A) The Mattews-Harrison Rip-off (Spring 1973)

As is true of each of the four major deals hereinafter described, Albert Rossi and Ernest Coralluzzo were the principal participants in this transaction. In the spring of 1973, these two and James Capotorto negotiated with Frank Matthews and Harold Harrison for the sale to them of thirty to fifty kilograms of heroin. After Matthews and Harrison had paid $375,000 of the agreed price, Rossi and Coralluzzo, exhibiting a disrespect for the rules of fair play extreme even among narcotics kingpins, decided to renege on their part of the deal.3 Matthews and Harrison, understandably annoyed by such lack of cooperation, decided that self-help would be the most appropriate remedy under the circumstances. Unfortunately for Mr. Capotorto, he turned out to be the object to which Harrison and Matthews helped themselves. Rossi and Coralluzzo, in their only display of humanity revealed by the evidence at trial, returned the $375,000 in exchange for the release of their grateful companion.

That gave Nino Gaggi added power over Demeo. Demeo had to be at least smart enough to know that Nino could get him whacked if he divulged Roy's past to a Boss.

Alphonse Trucchio was very young when he was made. He was probably made in 2001, so he was around 25, 26. There are other examples of guys getting made very young. Barney, Cesare Bonventre, Baldo Amato, Little Allie Boy Persico and a few others. Most of the guys, actually a huge majority of all inducted since the 1970s, were in their late 30s, 40s, 50s and in some cases in their 60s.
