Anthony Fat Anthony DiLapi, 53, was murdered in Los Angeles on February 4, 1990. As he entered the underground garage of his Hollywood apartment, a masked gunman approached and shot him multiple times. DiLapi was struck five times in the face and four times in the body and died at the scene. Official records listed him as a used-car salesman, though he was known in criminal circles as a member of the Lucchese crime family who had moved west after falling out with bosses in New York.

Investigators determined the hit had been ordered by Lucchese leaders Anthony Gaspipe Casso and Vittorio Vic Amuso and orchestrated by Al DArco. The shooters were identified as former NYPD officers Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, who were later convicted for DiLapi’s murder and several other killings. The case exposed corruption tied to organized crime and resulted in life sentences for the two officers.
