Editing Mineo Gang (section)

==Accord with D'Aquila==
Critchley concludes that Mineo appears to have reached an accord with Salvatore D'Aquila. Gentile's later account placed Mineo in the [[D'Aquila crime family|D'Aquila borgata]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=2eCPAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA157 Critchley, ''Origin of Organized Crime'', p. 157].</ref> “Absorbed” is useful shorthand for the faction's eventual loss of separate identity, but the sources do not provide a secure date or merger mechanism and support reconciliation more clearly than conquest.

Mineo's early faction should be distinguished from his later position. After D'Aquila was killed in 1928, Mineo became leader of the former D'Aquila organization, then an ally of Giuseppe Masseria. That later Mineo-led family was the successor administration of D'Aquila's borgata—not a revival of a separately constituted 1911 Mineo Gang.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=2eCPAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA174 Critchley, ''Origin of Organized Crime'', pp. 174, 184–187].</ref>

Mineo and Stefano Ferrigno were killed at the Alhambra Apartments in the Bronx on November 5, 1930.<ref>[https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1930/11/06/92106569.pdf “Two Men Shot Dead in Bronx Gun-Trap”], ''The New York Times'', November 6, 1930.</ref> The murder site does not establish Bronx territorial control by the early Mineo faction. Frank Scalise and then Vincent Mangano subsequently led reorganized successor formations.
