Vincent Macri's body was found in the trunk of a convertible parked in the east Bronx on April 25, 1954. The investigation into the mobster's demise involved featherweight boxing champ Willie Pep. Fighting in Florida at the time, New York authorities had contacted Miami law enforcement about interviewing Pep. The boxer's name had surfaced when detectives found a photo of Pep in the company of Vincent Macri. The two men were seated together at a New York eatery some years earlier.
