On June 10, 2010, 38-year-old Rocco Maniscalco was shot dead in South Philadelphia after walking home from the Wolf Street Cafe, where he had watched a Flyers Stanley Cup Finals game with his wife. Officers arrived at 1:04 a.m.; medics pronounced him dead at the scene on the 1700 block of Wolf Street. He was struck multiple times by a 9mm handgun and found with $1,800 on his person, leading investigators to rule out robbery as the motive.

Eyewitnesses gave only a brief description of the shooter as a thin, white, middle-aged man who fled in a dark SUV. Detectives have pursued several lines of inquiry tied to Maniscalco’s business and personal dealings: he owned New Era Collision and worked in towing, was a bookie, and was allegedly involved in drug dealing. Family members say he’d been pressured to pay a street tax and threatened by associates of imprisoned mobster George Borgesi; he also reportedly owed $60,000 to a group of drug dealers.

No arrests have been announced and the murder remains unsolved. If anyone knew Rocco, his routines, business associates, or saw anything on the night of June 10, 2010, please come forward with information.
