Bruno Facciola, 54, was murdered on August 24, 1990, in a killing tied to organized crime. Facciola, described as a made man in the Lucchese family, was lured to a garage in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, under false pretenses after being accused of informing to the government. A dead canary was placed in his mouth, and his body was later found in the trunk of his own car in Brooklyn.

The murder was said to have been ordered at the highest levels of the Lucchese family, including Vic Amuso and Anthony Casso, with acting boss Alphonse D’Arco implicated in arranging the hit. Subsequent prosecutions named corrupt NYPD detectives Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa as having passed the false tip that led to Facciola’s death; those detectives and several mob figures were later convicted in connection with the killing and other crimes. Does anyone have additional information about Facciola’s last movements or who else knew of the garage meeting?
