On this day in 1978 Paddy Macchiarole, better known as Paddy Mac, who was a Genovese Crime Family mobster was shot in the head multiple times. His body was discovered the day after in the trunk of a brand new Cadillac that he had only just purchased.

His death was at a time when other mobsters were being taken care of, to prevent any case being brought to court that could see Genovese capo James Napoli sentenced.
