 Gus Farace
Farace was shot 11 times in the face, chest and neck seven months later.
A 1991 television movie starring Tony Danza, "Dead or Alive: The Race for Gus Farace," detailed how the mob made Farace pay for the heat he brought down on them for killing a law enforcement officer.
Earlier this month, Joseph Sclafani, who unwittingly drove Farace to his execution, pulled out his gun, took a few bullets for Gus, lost a kidney and served a few years in prison to boot, was back in the dock again.

 Gus Farace Killing
Mobster James (Jimmy Frogs) Galione, who shot and killed Costible (Gus) Farace on Nov. 17, 1989, agreed to take 22 years in prison; associate Mario Gallo, a lookout in the rubout, got 15 years in plea bargains worked out by their lawyers and the feds.
Neither man was charged with the Farace killing, and each arranged to obtain "coverage" for the slaying after they had decided to plead guilty to the charged crimes rather than face life sentences if convicted at trial.
After describing how Farace was executed in the streets of Brooklyn, Stutman recounted how he "tried not to smile" at the press conference at which he announced that Farace had been killed.

 Magic Bullet in the War on Drugs
Hatcher squeezed his Buick onto the right shoulder, rolled down the window and tilted his head up to talk with Gus, who was leaning out the passenger window of the van.
Gus extended his left hand out the window, pointing toward the service road of the highway beneath the underpass, as if giving the "Colonel" (Hatcher) directions.
Within seconds, Gus had his other hand under the bulky leather jacket, pulled out the powerful Ruger handgun and fired three shots.

 DVD review of Mob Justice - DVD Town   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Danza plays Gus Farace, New York mobster running a small-time drug operation in the evenings.
The Mob is none too happy with the state of affairs brought upon them by Farace acting alone, and must determine how to deal with their little problem.
But loyalties run deep within the family, and Gus has friends on the inside that aren't necessarily inclined to follow the letter of their bosses’ orders.

Farace’s Uncle Greg Scarpa, a top Colombo hitman, then ordered his crew to track down and murder Farace.
Scarpa, who died of AIDS in 1994, had been able to escape prosecution most of his life because of his protected status as an FBI informant; thus he had obligations to those in law enforcement he had to honor.
Members of the Media and law enforcement, noting the differences in the murders of Officer Byrne and agent Hatcher, then began to mount an unofficial campaign to focus law enforcement efforts on the new ethnic crime gangs instead of the more predictable Italian Mafia Families.

 Dead on Delivery: Inside the Drug Wars, Straight from the Street - PowerBookSearch!
In one of the most gripping books yet on this topic, Stutman, former head of the Drug Enforcement Agency's (DEA) New York office, tells of his life as a federal drug agent while showing how the government, through several administrations, has blundered along in a war that cannot be won.
The narrative picks up as Stutman takes over the N.Y.C. office in 1985 and confronts crack, and races ahead when he returns to the hunt for Farace in a terrific climax that includes details of his surreptitious dawn visit to John Gotti's house to ask for help in nailing the killer.
Farace was slain by the mob soon after, and Stutman's parting words show just how hard-boiled this cop is: ``I was glad he was dead.

Farace, now wanted by the Feds and the mob, turned to his Green Haven family, and John Petrucelli, then 47, agreed to hide him.
A Lucchese boss sent word to John Petrucelli: “Either clip Farace or kill yourself.” He refused, and on September 13, 1989, Petrucelli was executed by his boyhood friend Joey “Blue Eyes” Cosentino and Anthony Magana, two names that would wind up on Junior Gotti’s list.
In time, their sons went to war, the fight going on in the name of their mob fathers.

One example was the 1986 shooting of DEA agent Everett Hatcher by Gus Farace, the nephew of Colombo Family hitman/FBI informant Greg Scarpa.

That is exactly what happened, and once Farace was found, he was blown away.

 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Appellee, v. VITTORIO AMUSO, also known as Jesse, also known as Vic, Defendant-Appellant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
According to D'Arco, [**9] Petrucelli fell into disfavor with Amuso because he was hiding Constantine "Gus" Farace, an associate of the Bonanno crime family who was suspected of killing a Drug Enforcement Administration agent.
Under increasing pressure from federal agents, Amuso instructed D'Arco to tell Petrucelli that "he should kill Gus Farace, and right away, or shoot himself." Shortly thereafter, Casso told D'Arco that Amuso was "fuming" about the Petrucelli situation, and that D'Arco should tell Michael Salerno, another Luchese family captain, to kill Petrucelli.
Chiodo testified that Petrucelli was indeed a member of the Luchese family, and that he had discussed Petrucelli at a meeting with Amuso and Casso.

 Lycos Movies - Biography - Frank Vincent
Vincent has also shown up on TV from time to time, including guest spots on the series "Young Indiana Jones", "Walker, Texas Ranger", "Civil Wars" and "Law and Order".
He also had decent supporting roles in the TV-movies "A Perfect Spy" (PBS, 1988), "The Adventure of the Clapham Cook" (PBS, 1990), "Dead and Alive--The Race for Gus Farace" (ABC, 1991), "On Seventh Avenue" (1996), "Gotti" (1996), "Witness to the Mob" (1998) and "Rubout" (2003), among many others.
But the actor's seminal role has to be his seemingly long-overdue addition to the supporting cast of the hit HBO mob drama "The Sopranos" in 2004 as the menacing Phil Leotardo, whose simmering vendetta against Tony Sopranos crew nearly undoes the mob boss' mini-empire.
