Gaetano N. Alessandrello

Deadly force

Reputable restaurateur Alessandrello and his longtime partner, a 26-year-old business manager and single mother, had a sideline in robbing banks. In this incident they hit a bank they'd previously taken for $38K but this robbery devolved into a hostage situation and 10-hour televised standoff. When the team was apparently ready to flee, a county sniper fatally shot Alessandrello in the head.
