On March 16th 1917, Joseph “Chuck” Naz­zaro was shot and killed in Yonkers NY. Naz­zaro had been spot­ted talk­ing to the Morello gang in Harlem, and was sen­tenced to death by the Neapoli­tan gangs in Brook­lyn. Fevrola, Sgroia, and the Paretti broth­ers, all from the Navy St gang lured Naz­zaro out to Yonkers under the pre­tence of killing Fevrola for giv­ing the police infor­ma­tion about a gang. The gang then shot Naz­zaro and left his body on the trol­ley tracks.

Aniel­lio Paretti of 23 Sher­man Av, Brook­lyn, was tried for the mur­der of Joe “Chuck” Naz­zaro in 1917. In Novem­ber 1921, Aniel­lio was sen­tenced to the death house in Sing Sing. His lawyer imme­di­ately appealed against the deci­sion, and on Jan­u­ary 3rd 1923 the Court of Appeals ordered a retrial. DA Weeks then had the indict­ment dropped, and Paretti was a free man. He was released from Sing Sing in July 1923.
