On November 6, 1995, a confrontation inside the 99 Restaurant in Charlestown ended with multiple people shot and four men dead, including 55-year-old Robert Luisi Sr. His son Roman, his nephew Antonio Anthony Sarro, and family friend Anthony Sonny Pelosi Jr. were also killed; a fifth man, Richard Sarro, survived gunshot wounds.

The violence grew out of a longstanding dispute between the Luisi and Clemente families. On the night of November 6, Damian and Vincent Perez were at the restaurant when the Luisi party arrived. Damian called his father, Anthony Clemente, who came armed. Words were exchanged and Anthony Clemente opened fire. A bullet recovered from Robert Luisi Sr.’s body was later matched to a gun found in Damian Clemente’s possession.

Anthony Clemente and his son Damian were arrested in connection with the killings. Anthony Clemente was convicted on four counts of murder in the first degree and related firearm charges; Damian Clemente was convicted of one count of first-degree murder. Does anyone have memories of the 99 Restaurant or the Charlestown neighborhood from that period that could shed more light on what happened that night?
