Live Video: Same-Sex Marriage Debate in State Senate
Early yesterday morning, a Staten Island man was fatally gunned down in the Arden Heights section. The Staten Island Advance reports, "He tried to run across the street but couldn't dodge the lethal shower of lead -- seven shots, at least," and it turns out that Anthony Seccafico, 46, was a part of the Bonanno crime family. Seccafico, who was headed to his construction job in Manhattan, "had been arrested a number of times dating to the early 1980s, and in 2002 was among 20 people arrested in a sweep of a Bonanno gambling and loansharking operation in Manhattan." The Post says that Seccafico may have recognized his killer—"Killing a made man is historically forbidden in the Mafia unless it is sanctioned by higher-ups in the family, sparking fears that a gang war may erupt." A Post source referred to Seccafico as being a "head case" with a "short fuse," adding, "There's always a guy you're not surprised [gets killed]."

wait, a "made man" was waiting at a BUS STOP on his way to a contruction job?
shit, the mob really aint what it used to be
He took the bus as a precaution in case his car was rigged with explosives :)
"Killing a made man is historically forbidden in the Mafia unless it is sanctioned by higher-ups in the family, sparking fears that a gang war may erupt."
i love how the post gets their information on mob rules from watching 'goodfellas'.
How could this tragedy have happened in Staten Island? Not a good way to start your day.
"was a part of the Bonanno crime family." That doesn't mean he was a made man. Obviously he wasn't a made man, if he was he would have a nickname. I don't see no nickname attached to the yout.
It's Anthony "Wormfood" Seccafico, now.
Don't you mean Anthony "Tony Worms" Seccafico?
True that "part of the family" is not the same as "made man." But the Post article does state that he was a made man:
"Sources said that the victim, who became a made man after the Bonanno family was gutted by federal convictions..."
any description of the shooter(s)?
I'll give it a shot: white wifebeater, dark, well-kept hair, gold chain, smoker.
My booboo. I read the article closer and indeed he was a made man. He was 5'5" tall and his street name was Anthony "Little Anthony" Seccafico. How did they come up with such an unusual name?
