September 5, 1896 - Louis Capone

A Brooklyn restaurateur by front, he rose within the Murder, Inc. apparatus as a supervisor — the organizational layer that translated contracts into killings carried out by the syndicate's professional assassins during the late 1930s. His role was less that of a triggerman than of a coordinator, which placed him at the center of what prosecutors described as a structured enforcement operation serving organized crime across multiple boroughs.
