The tentacles of the east coast based crime syndicates have always played a part within the criminal underworld of the west coast. Generally a place where wiseguys and their criminal associates go to lay-low and stay out of the limelight as a result of their criminal actions, the west coast families have since become dormant and near extinct as a result of law enforcement indictments and internal turmoil. As a result of these unfortunate circumstances the east coast based organizations have sought to take over the leaderless rackets and make sure they remain in the hands of the Italian-American crime syndicates.

 

Dominic Montemarano, or known to criminal associates and law enforcement as “Donnie Shacks”, is currently positioned as a Captain, or Caporegime, within the east coast based Italian-American organized crime syndicate, The Colombo Crime Family. As Captain within the organization Donnie Shacks has been tasked with leading the charge for the family on the west coast, having set up operations in Arizona and Nevada to name a few states. Law Enforcement Agencies recently stated that Donnie Shacks has been slid into the position of Acting Underboss as a result of John “Sonny” Franzese being put on the shelf. Montemarano still resides on the west coast, but makes routine flights back to the east to maintain Family cooperation and operations.

 

As a result of Montemarano’s promotion to the position of Acting Underboss and Captain within the Colombo Crime Family, additional pressure put on Montemarano was deemed unnecessary and it was stated that a new crew be based within the State of San Andreas and was to be headed by long time Colombo Family Soldier Carmine Profeta. With Profeta’s ascension to Captain of the newly formed crew based out of Los Santos, San Andreas, it was deemed also necessary that an additional soldier be transferred along with Profeta to Los Santos, Roy Masi respectfully. With the transfer of both Profeta and Masi, a pre-established soldier, Gregory Manno, who has been active in San Andreas since the late-2000’s was also to join the crew. With all three now setting up shop within the state of San Andreas they began their consolidation of state wide rackets.

 

Weeks after starting their takeover of rackets throughout the city of Los Santos and the State of San Andreas, the newly appointed Captain of the crew, Carmine Profeta was murdered. Law Enforcement Officials claim that Profeta was alone at his place of business which was located in the neighborhood of Mirror Park. Sources from within Law Enforcement claim that nothing was taken from the scene, but they still remain adamant that Profeta was a victim of a robbery gone awry. Days after Profeta’s death, his body was sent back to New York and a large funeral procession consisting of family, friends and mob associates lined the streets. Local journalists interviewed Profeta’s eldest daughter who stated that attending the funeral felt like something out of the Godfather.

 

With the patriarch of the crew now deceased in what was an apparent robbery gone awry, the question of the title of Captain was now in question. As a result of their quick consolidation of rackets on the west coast, the Profeta crew, as it was known to the media, retained power when their leader was slain in his business. Whomever was appointed to the position of Captain would have said power and the ability to control the entirety of San Andreas. Los Santos Law Enforcement recently revealed that the more senior Gregory Manno was given the reigns of the San Andreas based Colombo Crew.

 

Gregory Manno’s journey to the helm of the San Andreas based Colombo crew started more than 18 years ago. Born in the Brooklyn borough of New York City, Manno began his criminal career early in life. Throughout his teenage years Manno acted as a burglar and stick-up artist. As a result of various crimes throughout Brooklyn, Manno became close associates with known wiseguys in the James “Jimmy Green Eyes” Clemenza crew which dominated parts of Brooklyn. After years of associating with the crew it’s believed that Manno was officially inducted in the Colombo Crime Family sometime in the year of 1999. From his induction to the year of 2007, little is known of Manno’s movements and actions, but it is known that in the year of 2007 that Manno was charged with heading west to San Andreas to set the family’s stake in the state. Officially now under Montemarano, Manno was suspected to be the original Captain of the San Andreas crew, but this was deemed wrong after it was made clear that Profeta was in charge. 

 

Since the death of Profeta and the accession of Manno, the crew has not seen any sort of turmoil. Roy Masi, law enforcement believe, has taken a more hands on approach since his mentor’s rise to the top. A United States Army Veteran, Roy Masi served during the United Nations Bosnian intervention. Originally listed under the 11bravo military occupation speciality, infantryman in laymen’s terms, Masi opted to go the 12bravo route, combat engineer. After serving his required term as per the contract of his enlistment, Masi was discharged honorably from the United States Army. Returning to his roots of criminal mischief, Roy would eventually be inducted into the Colombo Crime Family in 2006, law enforcement speculate.    

 

While the dominant presence within the crew originates from New York, Kansas City has also made their presence known. Smaller than their sister Family, the Kansas City Family or Civella Crime Family has always had a prominent position on the west coast. As a result of said position, it was not surprising when a key figure within the Civella Family become affiliated with the San Andreas based Crew. Salvatore Lena a reputed and suspected retired Captain of the Civella Crime Family has been noted of making appearances in Los Santos. Considered by the new wave of inductees to be a “old spirit” or “old school” wiseguy, Lena’s made a name for himself as being one of the more ruthless loan sharks which have operated in the Kansas City area. Lena was believed  to have been “shelved” by the administration of the Civella Family due to his self proclaimed “retirement” from Civella Family activities.
