The body of Carmine Carini, 35, was found Saturday near East 58th Street and Avenue U near his residence in Mill Basin ‐ with a cinderblock brick bound to his legs by an electrical cord and his body wrapped in a blue tarp and sealed with duct tape.
"Natural causes" sez Quicy
"It was right out of ‘GoodFellas,' " a law-enforcement source said.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said at a press conference Tuesday, "The victim was a reputed mobster's son. His father had the OC [organized crime] ties, not him. Right now, we're in an active investigation to see who was in his life at the time."
Carini died from blunt-force trauma to the head but had also been stabbed, police sources said. He was identified through fingerprints.
Who leaves fingers any more? Kids nowadays
Carini's dad ‐ also named Carmine ‐ is an associate of the Colombo crime family, a police source said.
Carmine Sr. spent nearly a quarter-century behind bars for the 1983 killing of a Bay Ridge record-shop owner.
He was later freed in a plea deal after two mob turncoats revealed his cousin Vinnie was the actual killer ‐ only to wind up back behind bars a year later when he was busted posing as a cop to commit home-invasion robberies.
"He was turning his life around"
Vinnie and another cousin, Enrico, later famously botched a hit on a former Mafia prosecutor and ended up paying the ultimate price.
