About Angelo Genna

  • Angelo "Bloody Angelo" Genna (Italian pronunciation: ['and?elo 'd??nna]; February 3, 1898 – May 26, 1925) was an Italian-born Chicago bootlegger and organized crime leader during the Prohibition era.
  • The leader of his own Sicilian crime family, he was best known for his war with the North Side Gang leader, Charles Dean O'Banion.
  • Genna masterminded the assassination of O'Banion in November 1924. Genna and his brothers then fought the North Side's new leader, George "Bugs" Moran.
  • But, almost seven months later, in May 1925, Moran chased Angelo in a high-speed car chase and shot him to death.
  • In June and July, two of Angelo's brothers were killed, while the other three brothers fled.
