True Crime: Murder on Mulberry St.
We discuss the infamous murder of “Crazy” Joe Gallo on Mulberry Street in Little Italy. Gallo, a captain in the Colombo crime family, put out a hit on then-Boss Joe Colombo. Gallo’s charisma and hob-nobbing with Hollywood elite were no match for a Godfather-esque ending outside Umberto’s Clam House in April 1971.
