Francesco “Frank” Cali, reputed boss of the Gambino organized crime family, was fatally shot on Wednesday night at his Staten Island home.
The 53-year-old Cali, who had ties to the Inzerillo Mafia family in Palermo, Sicily, was taken to Staten Island University North Hospital in critical condition, sources said. He was shot several times.
Cali was the first New York crime family boss shot since 1985, when Paul Castellano, who owned a mansion on Todt Hill, was executed as he arrived at Sparks Steakhouse in Manhattan.
