camera as he attempts to flee from the
New York City bank he has just robbed. An
epidemic of bank holdups occurred in
1979. |
The
most spectacular murder of 1979 was the
"gangland-style" shooting of
Carmine (Lilo) Galante (right) at
an Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, New
York, during the lunch hour on July 12,
1979. Three masked men shot Galante, his
bodyguard, and the restaurant owner.
Galante was awaiting trial for violating
parole at the time of the murder. [American
