Gaetano Lococo (1895–1993), also known as "Thomas" or "Tano", was a mobster identified as one of the "Five Iron Men" of Kansas City, Missouri by Americanmafia.com.
According to grand jury testimony, Lococo helped gunmen escape from the scene of the bloody June 1933 Union Station massacre in Kansas City.
Despite the dubious efforts of the local police force (which was very corrupt at the time), Lococo was never charged with Anthon's murder or the ensuing shootout.
But in 1939, during a citywide cleanup campaign, Lococo was charged with income tax evasion and sent to prison for a short term.
Lococo then attempted to open a gambling operation in the hotel, but the Santa Cruz County Sheriff thwarted his project.
Less than a month after the Tijuana conference, both Kansas City boss Charles Binaggio and underboss Gargotta were assassinated.
