Carmine Ferrone, Jr.

Carmine Ferrone, Jr. was a mobster and the leader of the Ferrone crime family in New York. He led the family from his father's death in 1983, until Ferrone, Jr.'s assassination in 2012.
Popular in the mid-1980s as a yuppie who had connections to IBM, Ferrone stayed away from press coverage of his criminal activities as much as possible.
== Death ==
On April 9, 2012, Carmine Ferrone, Jr. and his wife, Bella were found dead in his car in an underpass of the McCarter Highway in Newark, New Jersey. Both of them had been shot over 10 times with a small-caliber firearm. The official investigation by the FBI turned up little evidence, but Richard Colombo, a Newark teenager suffering from various mental problems, was later found dead on the side of a road in Perth Amboy in August 2014. Investigators determined that Richard Colombo possessed the firearm used to kill Carmine and Bella, and that the murder of Richard was probably in retaliation.
John Strattonato took over operations of the Ferrone crime family directly after the death of Carmine. He currently lives in North Caldwell, New Jersey.
