Organized Crime: The Hit On Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll (9/17/24)

The Epstein Chronicles

Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll, a notorious gangster in Prohibition-era New York, rose through the ranks of organized crime as an enforcer for Dutch Schultz before breaking away to form his own violent gang. Known for his ruthless ambition, Coll’s war with Schultz turned deadly, culminating in the infamous "baby killing" of a young boy during a botched assassination attempt, which outraged the public and sealed Coll’s fate. Isolated and hunted by both law enforcement and his rivals, Coll became increasingly desperate before being lured into a trap on February 8, 1932. While making a call from a phone booth, he was ambushed and gunned down in a brutal hit orchestrated by Schultz and other mob leaders. His death marked the end of a bloody feud and cemented his legacy as one of the most violent figures of the era, though the true identities of his killers were never confirmed.
