The Italian Desperado was involved in a shooting that took place in Coalburg, Ohio on February 24, 1898. The victims were members of an Italian coal-mining family. Four people were shot; all survived except a five-year-old boy who died a week later.
The shooting was so shocking that it (and the subsequent trial) was covered for months in almost forty newspaper articles and was even reported 2,000 miles away in the L.A. Times.
Angelo was convicted and sentenced to life in the Ohio State Penitentiary and was regarded as the most dangerous inmate there. He died there in 1916 of a cerebral hemorrhage.
