Killer of Gambino boss knew he was a marked man right after shooting
Anthony Comello knew he was a marked man as soon as he pulled the trigger.
Within
moments after gunning down Gambino crime boss Frank “Franky Boy" Cali
outside his Staten Island home, the unhinged 24-year-old murder suspect
frantically fired off a text, reading “I’m on the run.”
“My family is marked,” he wrote, according to Staten Island prosecutors at a bail hearing for Comello Thursday.
Comello
has been indicted for the execution-style killing of Cali in front of
his victim’s home on March 13. Police sources said that Comello was
outraged that Cali demanded that his niece stop seeing the Staten Island
resident.
Cops arrested Comello three days later at his family’s New Jersey home.
His
attorney, Robert Gottlieb, asked that Comello be released on $1 million
bail at Thursday’s hearing but a judge refused the request, claiming
that he had already showed that he was flight risk by leaving the state
after the murder.
At previous court appearances, Gottlieb expressed fears about the accused killer’s continued safety behind bars.
Mob-style retribution against Comello is expected.
FBI
perp walk Frank Cali Prosecutors claimed that Cali acted as the Gambino
ambassador to the Sicilian mobsters and as a liaison between D'Amico
and the Sicilian connections to the Inzerillo family. Cali was charged
with racketeering, extortion, and conspiracy along with D'Amica and
DiMaria.
“He
must know his life is worth nothing,” one-time Bonanno family associate
Joe Barone told the Daily News in March. “He doesn’t have a chance in
hell. It’s a matter of time. Even if the wiseguys don’t get him, he’ll
get whacked by somebody looking to make a name.”
Comello
is accused of driving his truck to Cali’s Todt Hill home and crashing
the vehicle into the mobster’s parked SUV. When Cali came out to
investigate, Comello opened fire on the unsuspecting mob boss,
prosecutors say.
Sources indicated the suspect’s fingerprint was recovered from a license plate on the victim’s damaged Cadillac Escalade.
Comello
pumped 10 bullets into the doomed boss, officials said. During an
extradition hearing following his arrest in New Jersey, he had inked
“United We Stand” and “MAGA Forever” on the palm of his hand.
