A recent article sheds new light on a robbery spree turned murder investigation. In early 1991, Thomas (28) and Rosemarie Uva (31) decided it would be a "wise" idea to rob Mafia-run social clubs in Little Italy and elsewhere throughout New York. The couple thought that the social clubs would be home to high stakes card games, which would be an easy target. They we're right and they were wrong.
Almost as predicted, the couple got "whacked on Christmas Eve in 1992. They were both found in a Mercury Topaz sitting in a intersection in Queens, New York. Both Thomas and Rosemarie died from three gunshots to the back of the head.
Now, fifteen years later, the story of the bandits who made the stupid mistake of stealing from the mob is playing out at the trial of the man accused of murdering them, a reputed Gambino crime family captain named Dominick “Skinny Dom” Pizzonia.
Prosecutors claim that John A. “Junior” Gotti, while acting boss of the Gambino family once led by his father, sanctioned the killings.
The trial is still ongoing and more answers are yet to come.
