NEW YORK – A 24-year-old man was arrested in the shooting death this week of reputed crime boss Francesco “Franky Boy” Cali and will face murder charges in New York, police said Saturday.
Officials identified the man as Anthony Comello and said he was in custody in New Jersey pending extradition to Staten Island.
“The investigation is far from over,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea told reporters. “We do not believe this is a random act.”
Shea said police were still working to determine the suspect’s motive and whether he was working with or for other people.
“We are well aware of Mr. Cali’s past. That will be a part of this investigation as we determine what was the motive for the incident on Wednesday evening,” Shea said.
