Harvey ’Chris’ Rosenberg, 28, was killed on May 11, 1979, in Brooklyn. A member of the DeMeo crew within the Gambino family, Rosenberg became a target after a drug deal with a Cuban cartel went wrong. Rosenberg and others had killed the cartel’s suppliers and taken the narcotics, a theft that reportedly endangered the family by prompting the cartel to demand retribution.

DeMeo allegedly shot Rosenberg in the head at the crew’s Gemini Lounge meeting spot; when Rosenberg did not immediately die, Anthony Senter fired four additional shots into his head. Rosenberg’s body was placed in his car and left on a street near the Gateway National Recreation Area so it would be found and reported.

Rosenberg’s murder was later named in a broader 1984 indictment of surviving DeMeo crew members; subsequent trial testimony and convictions linked several defendants to his killing. Did anyone who knew Rosenberg or the Gemini Lounge see him on that May evening?
