He had six brothers: Michele, Vincenzo, Pietro, Salvatore, Angelo, and Nicola Genna; and two sisters: Rosa Laudicina and Caterina Mariana.
If he stuck to this profession, he could have amounted to something honorable, but the lure of fast cash and cars and power quickly won over his mind as a way of life.
[2] Genna reportedly had some rudimentary skill as a surgeon, and was known to operate on his soldiers if they couldn't go to a hospital for fear of arrest.
The North Siders—now led by Earl "Hymie" Weiss—attempted to kill Torrio outside his home, causing him to flee to Italy, leaving his second-in-command—Alphonse "Scarface" Capone—as head of the Outfit.
On May 26, 1925, Weiss, Vincent "the Schemer" Drucci and George "Bugs" Moran wounded Tony's brother Angelo in a high-speed chase, causing him to die shortly after.
On July 8, 1925, Tony Genna was asked to meet by one of his friends—Antonio "Cavalero" Spano (aka Giuseppe Nerone)—at Grand Avenue and Curtis Street.
Due to Tony being a slain gangster, Cardinal Mundelein refused the family Catholic funeral rites.
[6] The Aiellos had an alliance with Castellammarese Clan boss Salvatore Maranzano and a close connection to the North Siders.
