NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea told the media that they believe Comello is the shooter.

The reputed boss of New York’s Gambino crime family was shot to death in front of his home by a gunman who may have staged a car accident to lure him outside, dying a virtual unknown compared with his swaggering 1980s-era predecessor, John Gotti.

A law enforcement source told PIX11 News on Saturday that Comello, 24, wanted to date one of Cali’s nieces.
