Gallo left and got his friend Michael "Mike" Zanfardino, a hitman who worked for Genovese crime family capo Barney Bellomo's crew in Pelham Bay.[8] Zanfardino pulled out a gun and shot Mazzarelli and pointed the gun at Santorelli before leaving the scene.[8] Petrucelli and others came back that night and stabbed Paul Cicero, Gallo's cousin to death.[8] In December 1996, Darin Mazzarella was charged with the 1994 murder of Louis Balancio and Anthony Santorelli was charged with throwing the bloody clothes into the dumpster.[9] DownfallAfter his imprisonment, Darin Mazzarella agreed to become a government witness in 1997.[10] He provided information that is credited with leading to significant disruption of the Tanglewood Boys and the Lucchese family.[4] Mazzarella gave information for investigators and prosecutors on the Lubrano assault; he admitted participating in the assault with Alfred Santorelli, the son of Anthony Santorelli, and asserted that Lubrano was not a Tanglewood member.[7] In 1999, Anthony DiSimone turned himself in to the police and was sentenced in 2000 to 25 years to life for the murder of Louis Balancio.[11] In October 2002, Darin Mazzarella testified against John Petrucelli, in the murder trial of Paul Cicero.[10] Petrucelli had murdered Cicero in retaliation for Mazzarella being shot early by Cicero's cousin Gene Gallo, a Genovese crime family associate.[10] In February 2003, John Petrucelli was sentenced to life in prison for the 1995 murder of Paul Cicero.[12] In popular cultureIn 2005 and 2006, a fictionalized version of The Tanglewood Boys was featured on NY, in episode 1.13 "Tanglewood"[13] and in episode 2.20 "Run Silent, Run Deep".[14] Notes1. ^1 Garcia, [https://books.google.com/books?id=9WE0x0u1NjMC&pg=PA220&lpg=PA220&dq=The+tanglewood+boys&source=bl&ots=o6ZRBWkY9v&sig=5aMjvpSiTZmXG_lCAcp8OycNvUc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=So51UMHBMpTK0AHvooGABw&ved=0CDYQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=The%20tanglewood%20boys&f=false p. 220] 2. ^Abadinsky, [https://books.google.com/books?id=UcrWRVykMgEC&pg=PA29&dq=the+tanglewood+boys&hl=en&sa=X&ei=qDicULbCAs6E0QGgq4DgBg&ved=0CD8Q6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=the%20tanglewood%20boys&f=false p.29] 3. ^{{cite news|last=McCalary|first=Mike|title=Tangled Web of Gangsters in The Bronx|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/tangled-web-gangsters-bronx-article-1.689415|date=June 23, 1995|newspaper=Daily News|accessdate=October 10, 2012}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|last=McAlary|first=Mike|title=Breaking the Code|url=http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/crimelaw/features/2527/|date=April 13, 1998|newspaper=New York|accessdate=October 10, 2012|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090109164607/http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/crimelaw/features/2527/|archivedate=January 9, 2009|df=}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite news|last=McAlary|first=Mike|title=Sour Fruit Falls From Mob Trees|url=http://articles.nydailynews.com/1995-07-03/news/17982580_1_luchese-vic-amuso-gangster-life|newspaper=Daily News|date=July 3, 1995|accessdate=October 8, 2012}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|last=McAlary|first=Mike|title=A Case of Dumb and Dumpster|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/a-case-dumb-dumpster-article-1.792409|date=March 13, 1998|newspaper=Daily News|accessdate=October 10, 2012}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite news|last=McAlary|first=Mike|title=The wrong guy got jail in 1994 attack |url=http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/wrong-guy-jail-1994-attack-article-1.788958|accessdate=April 15, 2012|newspaper=Daily News|date=May 22, 1998}} 8. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|last=McAlary|first=Mike|title=Write Cross Hits Thugs Mob Pen Pals Aid Cops|url=http://articles.nydailynews.com/1995-07-05/news/17990093_1_killing-mob-fbi|date=July 5, 1995|newspaper=Daily News|accessdate=October 16, 2012}} 9. ^{{cite news|last=Berger|first=Joseph|title=After 3 Years of Witnesses' Silence, Man Is Charged in a College Student's Killing|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/12/10/nyregion/after-3-years-of-witnesses-silence-man-is-charged-in-a-college-student-s-killing.html?pagewanted=2&src=pm|date=December 10, 1996|newspaper=The New York Times|accessdate=October 11, 2012}} 10. ^1 2 {{cite news|last=Gearty|first=Robert|title=Ex-tanglewood Boy Accuses Mate In Teen's Killing|url=http://articles.nydailynews.com/2002-10-24/local/18211338_1_genovese-crime-crime-family-genovese-boss|date=October 24, 2002|newspaper=Daily News|accessdate=October 17, 2012}} 11. ^{{cite news|last=O'Connor|first=Timothy|title=Wife blames Pirro for murder case against DiSimone|url=http://www.lohud.com/article/20080703/NEWS02/807030422/Wife-blames-Pirro-murder-case-against-DiSimone|date=July 3, 2008|newspaper=The Journal News|accessdate=October 16, 2012}} 12. ^{{cite news|last=Weiser|first=Benjamin|title=Metro Briefing New York: Manhattan: Sentencing In 1995 Murder|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/12/nyregion/metro-briefing-new-york-manhattan-sentencing-in-1995-murder.html|date=February 12, 2003|newspaper=The New York Times|accessdate=October 17, 2012}} 13. ^Huntley, Kristine (January 27, 2005).
