Wounded was Antonio Sunsaro and Jerome Benvinetto. Vincezo was 38 years old and was quite an important figure on the national level regardin the Mafia. He apparently was closely associated with Salvatore Maranzano, onetime "boss of all bosses." Some thought he was killed because of this association, but the news and grapevine reported that Troia was trying to muscle in on some of the rackets in Newark, NJ when he was killed.
