Brooklyn Mobster Joe Colombo 1970s Mafia Murders

The Campisi crime family of New Jersey was a quickly ascending organization in the early 1970s. There were eight different Campisis, all of them blood related. The murder of Samuel Carbone was one of a series of gangland murders involving the Bruno and Campisi family members. It is likely that Carbone's relationship with Brooklyn crime boss Joseph Colombo may have triggered the hit on him in August 1971.
