Rocco Anthony Maniscalco Jr., 38, was shot and killed on a South Philadelphia street in the early morning of June 10, 2010. He had been at the Wolf Street Cafe watching a Flyers game and was walking home on the 1700 block of Wolf Street when an unknown assailant opened fire. Police found him with numerous gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at 1:21 a.m. after paramedics responded. Investigators recovered at least ten shell casings at the scene, and radio traffic initially described a possible suspect as a thin white male in a white shirt who fled in a dark-colored SUV. No arrests have been made and the case remains an unsolved homicide.

Authorities investigated several potential motives. Maniscalco was the grandson of Philadelphia mob figure Harry The Hunchback Riccobene, and the FBI reportedly looked for any links to organized crime. Reports also linked Maniscalco, owner of New Era Collision, to possible extortion attempts and a dispute with other drug dealers over a large gambling debt; friends had said he had begun wearing a bulletproof vest in the months before his death. Does anyone with information about that night or Maniscalco’s activities in the months before June 10, 2010, have details to share?
