An Ultra-Weird Murder Story Involving Relative of Twisted Sister Man
Imagine this as the plot of a movie: a gym owner named Christian Tarantino (yes, you read that right) headed up an “ultra-violent robbery crew” on Long Island that set out to kill three associates, including the brother-in-law of Twisted Sister frontman, Dee Snider.
The guy was apparently so good at running this crew that the Gambino family tried to muscle in on Tarantino’s operation so they could have a taste of the profits.
One of the guys eliminated–Tarantino didn’t want him to talk–was his best friend Vincent Gargiulo. He was shot dead in broad daylight at 30th Street and Manhattan by Justin Pressman, who was paid $35K for the hit. Gargiulo was the brother of Suzette Snider, Dee’s wife.
Turns out that Gargiulo was making secret recordings of conversations he had with Tarantino (in which he confessed to two murders) in an effort to blackmail him. When Tarantino got wind of this, Gargiulo was a dead man.
