Salvatore Maranzano
In the late 1920s, Reina formed an alliance with Masseria, who had absorbed into his now powerful organization the remnants of the much weakened Morello family. In 1925, Salvatore Maranzano arrived in New York City and took over the Castellammare family that operated out of the Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Reina switched sides and began supporting Maranzano. Masseria learned of Reina's betrayal and ordered Charles "Lucky" Luciano to arrange Reina's murder.
