@mobspotsgangstershits: Mob Hits in Brooklyn: 6207 Fort Hamilton Pkwy, Brooklyn, NY. Silencing "Tony the Wop" On November 21, 1932, the quiet third-floor apartment at 6207 Fort Hamilton Pkwy in Brooklyn, NY, became the site of a brutal execution that stunned the New York underworld. Four armed men pounded on the door of the Fabrizio family home, forcing the occupants to line up against the living room wall at gunpoint before hunting down their target. Francis Anthony Fabrizio known to the police as "Tony the Wop" or Al Freeman was dragged into a hallway alcove connecting the living and dining rooms and shot three times in the chest. He died instantly, leaving behind a terrified family and a trail of gangland secrets that the city's syndicates were desperate to bury. Before his fatal turn to writing, Fabrizio was a seasoned figure in New York’s criminal ecosystem, boasting a lengthy rap sheet that dated back to his youth. Among his most infamous associations in the violent currents of Prohibition-era gang warfare, Fabrizio had served as the getaway driver for the murder of the notorious Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll. The climate of fear intensified following the November 10th bombing of Benjamin Siegel’s Grand Ave headquarters, in which Siegel suffered a cracked skull. Rumors immediately rippled across Brooklyn suggesting that Fabrizio had been paid by Waxey Gordon to coordinate with a Philadelphia gun crew to plant the bomb. Hunted and running out of options, Fabrizio sought sanctuary in his parents' apartment, spending two weeks in hiding. Believing his family's apartment was a safe haven, Fabrizio sat at a table drafting notes, letters to lawyers and publishers, and an explosive tell-all manuscript. Using a portable typewriter brought in by his attorney, Philip Cooper, Fabrizio was in the middle of typing a sweeping exposé detailing the inner workings of the New York underworld when the hit squad breached the door. The police arrived to find his final testimony frozen in the typewriter and scattered across his desk. In his writings, He asserted that he was once a bigger figure than Al Capone in underworld power, writing, "I was a bigger man than Al Capone in underworld power. But I quit because I did not believe in putting the boys on the spot." Fabrizio exposed that while legitimate brewers organized multi-million dollar funds, the criminal underworld had raised a massive $27,000,000 fund to seize total control of the beer trade. In his closing lines, he warned that the syndicate had voted a large sum of money to get him "dead or alive". Moments after typing these words, the three slayers entered and ended his writing permanently. Following the gunfire, the assassins fled down the stairs and sped away in a large sedan driven away under the watch of Fabrizio's terrified nephew. The vehicle was later recovered abandoned in front of 4709 Third Ave, Brooklyn, containing five .38 caliber revolvers all brand new and wiped clean of fingerprints. Two were snub-nosed revolvers, one of which contained four discharged shells. Despite the wealth of notes, the recovered firearms, and the frantic police manhunt that followed, the murder of Francis Anthony Fabrizio remains unsolved today, and none of the gunmen were ever identified. His assassination stands as one of the underworld's most chilling examples of silencing a rat before he could expose the syndicate to the world. #mobhistory #brooklyn #truecrime #truecrimetiktok #truecrimetok #crimestory #organizedcrime #mob #truecrimedocumentary #History #gotti #gambino #mafia #crimetok #gangster #mafialocations #AmericanMafia #TrueCrime
