Vito Gurino Assassin For Murder Inc.

Vito Gurino was a hit man for Murder Inc., the first murder for hire organization to operate nationwide in the United States. Headed by Louis "Lepke" Buchalter, the gang was based in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. In 1942 Gurino was charged with two murders in Nassau County and an earlier slaying in Brooklyn. He received a term of twenty years to life for the killings. A career criminal, Gurino's lengthy career as a gangster and assassin is profiled in my e-book. I've written my work using newspaper accounts written at the time the crimes occurred.
