Ro Paul Luisi, 26, was killed during a midday shooting at the 99 Restaurant and Pub in Charlestown on November 6, 1995. He had been dining with his father, Robert Luisi, and others when rivals entered the restaurant, words were exchanged, and gunfire erupted. Four men, including Ro Paul Luisi and his father, were killed and a fifth member of their group was critically wounded but survived.

The attack followed a feud and a physical altercation the night before at a North End coffee shop between members of the Luisi family and the Clementes. Two off-duty police officers who were eating at the restaurant, along with other officers nearby, pursued and captured two suspects identified as Damian Clemente and Vincent John Perez; Anthony Clemente, Damian’s father, was arrested the next day. The three were charged in connection with the shooting that ended Ro Paul Luisi’s life.
