A 24-year-old man was arrested in the shooting death of the reputed boss of the Gambino crime family, New York police said.
Anthony Comello was arrested in New Jersey in the death of Francesco Cali last week in front of his Staten Island home, said Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea, who stressed that the investigation is in its early stages.
"There are multiple, multiple angles that we are exploring," Shea said.
"Was the person paid to do it? Were others conspiring to do this crime?"
The 53-year-old Cali, a native of Sicily, was shot to death by a gunman who may have crashed his truck into Cali's car to lure him outside.
