Gambino crime boss Francesco “Franky Boy” Cali was assassinated in front of his Staten Island home Wednesday night in a stunning gangland hit that recalled some of the most infamous Mafia killings in city history.
Cali, 53, was gunned down in front of his brick mansion in the lavish Todt Hill neighborhood at about 9:20 p.m. His wife and young children were inside, police sources told The Post.
The gunman sped off in a blue pickup truck after the hit, which one source described as “disrespectful” because it took place near his family home in an outer borough.
Cali is the first mob boss to be slain in New York City since a fresh-faced John Gotti ordered the murder of then-Gambino boss Paul Castellano in 1985 at Sparks steakhouse in Midtown.
“Even Gotti had more respect,” one police source told The Post. “He did it out in Manhattan.”

He must have refused an offer.
Oh, this is really important stuff for Matzav readers to know….
Yes
I am sure he was much more respectful of his victims
So what’s going to be with all his unpaid parking tickets?
I guess murder is not so bad if it is done “respectfully”!! Oy Vey.
I agree – the concept of a “respectful” murder vs. a “disrespectful” one is one of the stupidest things I’ve heard of.
I didn’t know there was a respectful way to kill someone. Crazy world
got to say the cosa nostra has more class than MS-13 lowlifes. they both vicious criminal murderes but at least the Italian Mafia plays by certain rules not justifying but for eg. they dont take out cops but these mexican lowlifes kill and maim any and all
