Thomas Uva, 28, and his wife Rosemarie were ambushed and shot to death in their car on December 24, 1992, in the Ozone Park neighborhood of Queens, New York. The couple had been carrying out a string of armed robberies targeting Mafia social clubs; Thomas entered clubs armed with an Uzi and Rosemarie often acted as the getaway driver. Reports place the number of robberies at between four and ten. Angered crime families reportedly put out an open contract on the pair.

While stopped at a red light less than a mile from home the morning of December 24, gunmen opened fire, striking both in the head multiple times and killing them instantly; their car then drifted through the intersection and struck another vehicle. The case was long unsolved but later informant information tied the plot to organized crime. In 2005 Dominick Skinny Dom Pizzonia was charged in connection with the murders, and a federal jury convicted him in May 2007 of conspiracy to commit the murders; he was sentenced to 15 years. Others, including Ronald One Arm Trucchio and members of the Bonanno family, were implicated, and Sal Vitale said John Gotti Jr. told him we took care of it, though no additional charges followed.

Is there anyone who remembers the Uvas or who has information about the robberies and the ambush?
