Organized Crime Figure. Carmine Borrelli was an associate of Dutch Schultz during the 1920s and '30s. Borrelli was a good friend to Vincent Coll until September 17, 1928. That's the day, the two men held-up the Sheffield Farms milk plant located on Webster Ave in the Bronx, resulting in an argument on how to divide the loot. Since then there would be friction between the two gangsters.
In early 1930, Coll started to devise his plan to depart from the Schultz organization and start his own mob. Fearing that Borrelli might get wind of his plan and tell the Dutchman, Coll had him murdered along with his companion Mayme Layto (aka "May Smith).
In the wee hours of the morning of February 13, Borrelli and his girlfriend were walking to their apartment at 1416 Inwood Avenue, near West 170th Street and Cromwell Avenue, in the Bronx. They were approached and gunned down by Vincent Coll, Patsy Del Greco, Frank Esposito, and one other unknown associate. The gunmen then sped off in their car, driven by a fifth unknown gangster.
Vincent Coll was charged with double homicide on March 30, 1930, but was later discharged due to lack of evidence.
