Summary

[edit]
Description

Guiseppe "Joe" Aiello was the leader of Unione Siciliana and an enemy of Al Capone, having ordered several unsuccessful hits on the Big Guy.

On October 23, 1930, Aiello was leaving the home of his partner Patsy "Presto" Prestogiacoma when Capone's men opened fire from across the street with machine guns. Presto retreated into the building. Aiello, hit with 13 bullets, attempted to escape around the corner of the building. "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn anticipated this move. Having rented an apartment to the right of the building in this photo, McGurn finished off Aiello with a machine gun. He died with 30 bullets in his body, more than any victim of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

Located at 205 N. Kolmar Avenue.
