00:30This is a case that on its face looks fairly obvious as to who the shooter is, but what actually happened was so incredibly shocking that even detectives and seasoned journalists couldn't believe it.
01:00Who was behind this series of attacks of a neighborhood icon?
01:07He was punched. He was shot multiple times.
01:11And he had a hood on?
01:12Yes, and a mask.
01:14He was stabbed seven times.
01:16I thought the car was in.
01:17The entire family was under attack.
01:20Biomedical.
01:20It was brutal and crazy and unanswerable.
01:25Some guy got shot in the parking lot.
01:27He's dead.
01:27We had looked at the mafia.
01:32Now, we don't know if it's not coming from us.
01:34There is somebody behind the scenes pulling the strings, and that begs the question.
01:43We don't know if it's not coming from us.
02:13In September 2017, officers respond to an incident.
02:21The incident was recorded.
02:22The victim of the crime was Sylvester Zatola, commonly known as Sally Datz.
02:31He was 70 years old.
02:34He was merely standing outside when the video showed a male walk up to Mr. Zatola, engaged
02:42him in a short conversation, and basically asked him about employment.
02:46Sally Datz says, now there's no employment around here.
02:49And he had turned around and started punching him several times.
02:54And then all of a sudden, he just started viciously beating him right to the ground.
03:04He had some bruising, and he had a broken rib.
03:07It's heartless.
03:08Zatola tells police that the perpetrator was an African-American male, didn't really know
03:20the age.
03:21So it's a pretty basic description for a suspect.
03:26So the detectives really didn't have anything kind of go on in this case.
03:29Who's walking up to an elderly gentleman, you know, and beating him like that?
03:36Zatola's backstory is interesting.
03:39He was a guy who was also known in the community as a reputable businessman and a very successful
03:47businessman at that.
03:48And his business was real estate.
03:51Eventually, amassing more than $40 million of primarily residential buildings throughout
04:00New York City.
04:02His wife died years ago.
04:04So essentially, he became a single father to his three children.
04:09He had two boys and one girl, Deborah, the daughter.
04:14His eldest son, Salvatore, and his younger son was Anthony.
04:21And also a plethora of grandchildren.
04:24He would tell anybody who asked that his family was the most important thing in the world to
04:31him.
04:31In fact, his two sons were brought in to run portions of his business.
04:38He was a fixture of that community.
04:41He had been a supporter, you know, of the police and helped the precinct out a lot during his
04:46lifetime with security cameras, you know, outside his residence, supplying video.
04:51To the police and detectives for crimes that occur in and around the area.
04:55He was like the godfather of that community.
04:58It has been widely said that he was like Santa Claus without a beard.
05:01He was a jolly old fellow.
05:03He would be the type of guy who would wave to kids on the street corner.
05:08Everybody knew him.
05:09So why is someone going after him?
05:12Really, a gem of the community.
05:14You know, we had a rash of old people getting sucker punched, you know, throughout, you know,
05:19New York City during that time as well.
05:22So is it just someone who's following a trend?
05:24It didn't look like it was a full attempt, you know, of his life other than an assault or
05:28may be a possible attempt to robbery.
05:42November 2017, Sally Daz, he comes into the precinct, speaks to the desk officer, telling
05:48him, he was driving on the expressway and in front of him and a perpetrator wearing a mask
05:53gets out with a firearm and starts threatening him and tells the first offer he sees that
05:58somebody is either trying to carjack him or kidnap him because, you know, what else would
06:03there be?
06:04But they do an area canvas which shows up negative for the perpetrator in the area.
06:08At this time, the two incidents are considered separate, even though it's our same victim
06:15because it's a description Sally Daz gave.
06:18It's very vague.
06:20Really, at this point, both of these incidents are really like a dead end.
06:24There's no other investigative information and all leads are exhausted.
06:33So a little over a month later, 911 has called for a break in at the Zatola residence.
06:38So when the officers respond to Mrs. Zatola's home, they find him.
06:45He's bleeding profusely on the ground.
06:47He's been stabbed multiple times and slashed across the neck.
06:56Somehow, miraculously, he survived this brutal attack.
07:01He tells detectives the little bit that he knew that he's at home.
07:14The next thing he knows, there's a group of men in there.
07:17And there wasn't small talk.
07:22There wasn't a lot of threats or anything like that.
07:30They went right after him.
07:31And he didn't get any great physical description, with the exception of he believed that these
07:41were predominantly African-American men.
07:43It doesn't appear that there's any forced entry.
07:55There's a code to get in.
07:56How did he have that code?
07:57And number two, Zatola has surveillance camera in his property.
08:05But guess what?
08:06There was no surveillance tape from that incident.
08:10They stole the home video surveillance.
08:15So this starts looking to us as, this might be an inside job.
08:19Someone's definitely trying to kill this guy.
08:22But wait a minute.
08:24Why did they want to kill him?
08:28Hi, my name is Frank DiMatteo.
08:30And I know Sally through the vending business.
08:34Are there things that just stays amongst the family and just don't share?
08:43Mob world family?
08:44They're not going to tell nobody nothing.
08:45The less people know, the better it is.
08:48The less people got killed.
08:54What do you know about Sally?
08:56All you know about Sally is Sally was a good guy.
09:00He was a flea with the bananas.
09:01He had friends for protection.
09:05I was with a different family.
09:07But that's how we got to know him at all.
09:10Because he was, in that area, it was a banana area.
09:14So that's why we knew he had a friend up there.
09:18In New York City, there's five major crime families.
09:23And the bananas really took a big chunk of the Bronx area.
09:27Many people don't walk around with a name tag that says,
09:34I'm in bed with a crime family.
09:37That's just not how it works.
09:40Zatola was considered an associate of the banana family.
09:44Sally himself wasn't in the mafia, but he had enough friends and a banana crew.
09:51So what makes you a mobster?
09:53Because you've got a friend that's a mobster?
09:56To be able to do that world doesn't make him a gangster.
10:00Not everybody.
10:00I think because you know somebody, you're a gangster.
10:03It doesn't work that way.
10:03Only in, maybe on TV or something like that.
10:06Or, or, or.
10:06Or, or, or, in the real world, no.
10:10If you're a moron, you're a moron that knows a gangster.
10:15This guy was a legitimate businessman on real estate.
10:19And then he was involved with Joker Poker Games.
10:22That's how he got started, which is a big business.
10:24So Joker Poker is an extremely popular video gaming machine
10:36that is sold to and placed in social clubs.
10:42And it is very, very profitable because there's a lot of money in it.
10:48Is that still legal?
10:50No, it's not legal.
10:50You can bring in millions, you know, yearly.
10:54So, and it's unrecorded.
10:56It can be so lucrative.
10:58I know guys got tons and tons and tons of money by doing that.
11:02Vending.
11:03Like I said, it's all under the table, so.
11:07So Sally Dads had Joker Poker machines,
11:09which he would run anywhere from a basement apartment building
11:12to the back of the bodega
11:14to numerous different commercial locations
11:16where they have secret spots in the back.
11:19The expectation of Sally Dads was to bring food to the,
11:23you know, bring food to the family.
11:25That's kind of like how they put it,
11:27is bringing money, kicking money up
11:29to the Bonanno crime family
11:31to help support the Bonanno crime family.
11:34So at this point, the mafia,
11:37someone trying to whack him and bump him off
11:39from his own organization,
11:41from one of the other families,
11:43you know, to gain all his profits
11:45and take over those Joker Poker machines
11:47or possibly even going into his real estate
11:49and trying to bump him out of real estate.
11:52Now, we don't know if it's not coming from us.
11:55You know, it could be coming from Bonanno's,
11:57wanting to take him out
11:58or some other family would try to move in on him.
12:01We don't know because they don't tell us.
12:02So several months go by since the third incident.
12:13He's off the grid.
12:14Sally lay low, which is what you're supposed to do,
12:18not being flashy.
12:19He doesn't stay at the house anymore.
12:21He has a separate apartment.
12:22He really buttoned up his inner circle.
12:25And that included his kids, his grandkids,
12:29and a couple of mob associates
12:32that he does most of his business with.
12:35So I know the Bonanno's,
12:37they would reach out in the street
12:38and see if we knew anything about it
12:40or anybody could find anything about it.
12:42And they didn't.
12:43That's what threw everybody off.
12:45At this point, it's becoming urgent
12:48that if law enforcement doesn't figure out
12:52who is targeting this elderly man,
12:56he will end up dead.
13:06One day in June 2018,
13:10Mr. Zatola was walking around
13:12in another section of the Bronx.
13:14He's been in hiding.
13:22Some approaches with a hoodie.
13:46On this day,
13:57Zatola's confronted
13:58outside of this new location.
14:02Somebody puts a gun into his face,
14:05is going to shoot him at point-blank range
14:07and kill him, no doubt.
14:09Now, luckily for Sally Daz,
14:12the gun jams.
14:13And Sally Daz has his own firearm on him.
14:16And fires it at the fleeing perpetrator.
14:25So when the police arrive,
14:26you know, the first thing they do
14:27is they see Sally Daz
14:28and his son, Anthony Zatola.
14:30Can I, can he go inside?
14:34Is that okay?
14:35I'm not right now.
14:35I'm not going to go inside right now.
14:38Mr. Zatola is a wreck.
14:39I was walking up 194th Street.
14:41Yes.
14:41I always turn around
14:43because I always think there's a car up there.
14:44Are you following me?
14:45Mm-hmm.
14:46So I didn't see no car.
14:48I turned around and see a black guy
14:49with a hood on.
14:50He, you know,
14:52he walks across the street that way.
14:54And he walks across the street that way.
14:57Mm-hmm.
14:57And he starts coming over to me like this.
14:59Okay.
15:00And he had a hood on?
15:01Yes.
15:02And a mask.
15:02So after this attempt,
15:04you know, Mrs. Zatola's kids,
15:06Deborah, Salvatore, and Anthony,
15:09they're all up in arms about what happened.
15:11That was like the car was here.
15:14It was a four-door blue, uh,
15:18with Connecticut plates on it.
15:21But at this point,
15:22what's going through the detective's minds
15:24is he's relocated.
15:26People are behind this.
15:27How do they know where he is, right?
15:31And that's what makes this attack
15:33in June
15:35that much more
15:37brutal and crazy
15:40and unanswerable
15:42because he's in a location
15:44where nobody is supposed to know
15:46where he is.
15:50See, what did you see
15:51when you saw him with a firearm?
15:52What did you do?
15:53He was returning fire,
16:07you know, to the perpetrator,
16:08so in self-defense.
16:09But he has an illegal firearm on him.
16:11How many shots did you fire?
16:12One?
16:12And do you have a little pistol permit?
16:14No.
16:15So this is interesting.
16:16He ends up getting arrested
16:17for illegal gun possession.
16:21Anthony!
16:23They should be checking
16:25all these cameras.
16:27So, listen,
16:27I can't blame Sally Dance
16:29for carrying a firearm.
16:31Is it illegal?
16:31Yes.
16:32Is he getting arrested for it?
16:33Yes.
16:35Do I think a grand jury
16:36will ever indict him?
16:37You know, no.
16:38Why?
16:39Because there's four attempts
16:40on his life,
16:41but, um,
16:43the law is the law.
16:49I'm looking for two male blacks.
16:51I thought it was a girl.
16:52Oh, he's trying.
16:53Oh, and he's trying to punch.
16:54When you are trying to punch.
16:55When you kill the glitch.
16:59Oh, and this one?
17:03Yes.
18:04The perpetrator for that incident ends up getting arrested a little while later in Manhattan
18:09for criminal possession of a weapon, because he has that illegal firearm.
18:12I got the gun. I got the gun.
18:14You got the gun.
18:14And where was the gun drop?
18:15The gun was right... I saw him throw it over here.
18:19Okay.
18:19Yeah.
18:21The problem is, in the Bronx, we don't get that information that the arrest is made.
18:26The arrest happened in Manhattan, and the attempted shooting was in the Bronx.
18:32And both shootings and gun arrests happen all the time in New York City,
18:36so neither really warrants any kind of citywide action.
18:40And so both jurisdictions are left in the dark about what the other had.
18:45And I don't think anybody in law enforcement thought that these were the same group of perpetrators,
18:52or, at the very least, the same group behind the planning of this.
18:57At this point in the investigation, now we start pulling jail phone calls to see who's calling,
19:07talking to Mr. Zatola to see if they have any idea who it is, or is it them?
19:12Mr. Zatola had very strong ties with Vinny.
19:17And Vinny Bassiano was the head of the Bonanno family.
19:22And not only were they really close friends,
19:26they were also really close business associates.
19:30Vinny, he's actually in jail during this whole incident.
19:33And the sons had approached him with a phone call to see even if the mafia is involved with this.
19:41Vinny, they think we know who these people are.
19:43I'm like, we have no idea.
19:44We don't know who they thought.
19:46And Vinny Gorgeous basically said right off the mark,
19:49the crime families have no involvement with this.
19:52This is something coming from outside.
19:54There's nobody there, you bother.
19:55They should push you through this bullshit, man.
19:57Come on, man.
19:58Your father's a good person.
19:59Your father's the salt of the earth.
20:01The salt of the earth.
20:02He helped out everybody.
20:03You know what I mean?
20:03I don't know who's got this problem against them.
20:06And Vinny loved Sally Daz and for years contributed to the family.
20:10That's not somebody who they would want to get rid of.
20:13It's somebody that he knows.
20:14There's somebody that knows his routine.
20:17All right.
20:18Bye.
20:18Bye.
20:19I just don't know who it is.
20:20And if it was, you know, another mafia organization, another one of those five families, you know,
20:26Vinny Gorgeous probably would have said something.
20:27But we've got nothing like that.
20:29One day in July, Zatola's family vehicle stops and parks at the Zatola family compound.
20:56But it wasn't Sal Sr. who got out of the car.
21:02It was his son, Sal Jr.
21:07And all of a sudden,
21:08somebody was targeting what appeared to be his entire family.
21:17Sal Jr. is shot multiple times.
21:32He's rolling around on the ground.
21:34It's a gruesome crime.
21:36Again, in broad daylight.
21:38It was a life-threatening wound.
21:42You know, and he was rushed to the hospital.
21:44And lucky for him, it was non-fatal.
21:46And he survived it.
21:48It was some big news.
21:50We heard about it when it happened.
21:52We found it strange.
21:54It found it strange because the shooter was strange.
22:01This guy's half-running, looking for him, trying to shoot him.
22:05I said, that's how you do it.
22:06As somebody who covered this case, the mob gets it done on the first try.
22:14And this was a case where it was almost like a bunch of bumbling idiots trying to kill somebody, but always failing.
22:25It was so just unprofessional, you know, the whole thing, you know.
22:28It'll take you three times to go kill somebody.
22:30Takes you two minutes, you get up close and kill the guy.
22:34You know.
22:36Was it mistaken identity?
22:39I think it was.
22:40Yeah, 100%.
22:41Do you think it's the real target here?
22:45That day, yeah.
22:47Yes.
22:48Definitely.
22:52So when I look at this incident, you know, a lot of people say maybe it's mistaken identity, right?
22:58He gets out and the perpetrator comes up and starts shooting at him.
23:02Maybe he mistakes that it's his dad.
23:04I never really looked at it that way.
23:05The way I looked at it as is, hey, listen, they're going after Sally Daz.
23:09They can't get him, right?
23:11What's the next thing likely to do?
23:13Let's go after his family.
23:14You know, like they want his business.
23:16They go after the kid too.
23:17What this attack showed law enforcement was that it wasn't just the elder Zetola.
23:29The entire family was under attack.
23:35And that begs the question, who wants this entire family dead?
23:41There are no leads.
23:44Cops aren't close to a suspect.
23:47And everybody is waiting for the next shoe to drop.
23:53I was a stringer, a freelance reporter for the New York Daily News.
24:08The guy that goes to the scene to cover a story in person.
24:12If it's a crime scene, talk to people, go to court, talk to the cops, things of that nature.
24:20So that day, the editor says, well, you might regret this, but I have an assignment for you.
24:30I'm working on a normal shift.
24:33Salvatore was done recovering.
24:35And we get the call that there's a homicide over at the McDonald's on Webster Avenue.
24:40It's a kind of busy corridor in West Bronx.
24:46Not a nice place, to be honest with you.
24:47Fire, medical.
24:49Hi, can you send me down the ambulance right now?
24:51Somebody got shot in the parking lot.
24:53Somebody got shot?
24:55Yes.
24:55Anybody know who shot him?
24:57No.
24:58The crime scene at McDonald's, and it was an Acura SUV, maroon-colored car, just next to the McDonald's.
25:06Takeout window.
25:08First breathing.
25:10Well, to be honest with you, I'm inside.
25:12I'm one of the managers of McDonald's, and I was taking an order when I see him to come and shot the guy.
25:17I don't know this man.
25:20I was about to give him the food when everything happened.
25:23Anybody got a description of the person?
25:25Do you know where he shot at?
25:26All we know is somebody.
25:28We're just taking care of customers.
25:30Somebody just ran to the car and shot at him.
25:33While we're en route, they tell us right away that it's Sally Daz.
25:37And someone had shot and killed him in the drive-thru at the McDonald's.
25:42So he's in the car?
25:44Yes, he's dead.
25:45As a department, we have the duty to protect our citizens.
25:54So when you turn around and you fail at it, yeah, you get emotional about it, and you want to go out and find out who the murderer is.
26:00When we get there, I'm brought to the rear of the McDonald's.
26:07It appeared that the vehicle is pressed up against the building where the call box is.
26:12Mr. Zatola is slumped on the steering wheel.
26:15There's a fence around the McDonald's perimeter, and there's a big hole in the fence.
26:24And as I learned, the suspected killer at the time snuck into that hole.
26:30The victim, Zatola, is in his car, and he's driving up to the drive-in window, and he orders a coffee.
26:38And he's boxed in.
26:40There's a car in front of him, and there's a car behind him, so he can't move.
26:45That's kind of like a funnel, right?
26:46That we're always taught as police officers, don't drive through drive-thrus, don't go through.
26:51Why?
26:51Because of bottlenecks.
26:53And now all of a sudden, you're a target.
26:55And so the killer, when he gets close, he just fires the shots.
27:00And he hits him in the back and in the chest.
27:07And we're shocked at that.
27:09We're shocked at why.
27:11I always thought they were going to rob him.
27:13That's so we could shake him down and rob him, you know.
27:16And it just escalated to him getting killed.
27:19Got killed.
27:24First thing I noticed walking around the vehicle was the cluster of bullet holes in the side window.
27:30There was a very tight cluster.
27:34So the person who turned around and fired this weapon had a very tight grouping,
27:38which means he didn't just fire a weapon haphazardly into the vehicle hoping to strike.
27:44He fired that weapon and those bullets through that vehicle and struck him with precision.
27:49So that tells me, you know, that the shooter has used a firearm before,
27:55that he's proficient with it, and that he can stay on target even during a stressful situation like that.
28:01So I started asking myself, out of all these other attempts,
28:08I can see a level of professionalism has increased.
28:12And I kind of felt that this could be a different person from the last couple of attempts.
28:17One of the other detectives interviewed the 911 caller.
28:25He had a black hoodie vest.
28:26He looks young.
28:27He looks like a black kid.
28:28But she took cover and wasn't able to see his face.
28:31But he had retreated back up the hill.
28:33A few days later, I covered the funeral.
28:42The church was packed.
28:44There were, like, maybe at least 300 people in there, packed.
28:50And there was this beautiful photo of Zotola.
28:54And I'm just looking at him, look at him.
28:55It's like, it's like my grandpa, you know?
28:59It could be my grandpa.
28:59Deborah and Sal Jr. and Anthony all gave touching eulogies about what this man meant to them and to this community.
29:12They were devastated at the news that they had lost the man that they were closest to in their lives.
29:20Debbie, the daughter, I remember her in tears.
29:25Anthony, too, had some very nice words about his father.
29:28He was like, you were a wise man.
29:30You were strong.
29:32And he was saying, you taught me everything in life.
29:35I need to make you proud.
29:37Like, I will do all I can not to disappoint the family.
29:41You know, my brother, my sister, especially you.
29:44It was very touching.
29:48There's something so mundane about all of this, right?
29:50You're just ordering a coffee.
29:52You're just like an average joe ordering a coffee.
29:54And he loved to get his coffee there.
29:56And that was his last coffee.
30:00I don't believe in coincidences.
30:02So I started asking myself, okay, how do they know where he is?
30:06Are they following him?
30:07The vehicle ends up getting removed to really get processed.
30:15We go over the entire vehicle.
30:17They go from top to bottom, you know, from the front to the back.
30:20And one of the things that we end up coming up with is a tracker on the vehicle.
30:25A GPS device that is in the wheel well.
30:30It answers some questions like, wow, right?
30:33That's how they've been tracking them.
30:34And that's how they got them here.
30:35So at this point, this is like the real big solid piece of evidence that we had
30:41that could possibly bring us, you know, to a perpetrator.
30:44I know how these things work.
30:46And I know that this thing is talking to something.
30:50So it's going to be talking to a cell phone or to some other device
30:53that's going to be able to be tracked.
30:57We'd sent it to the lab and to get it broken down.
31:01So once we start receiving that information back, what do I do?
31:06Just like I have kids.
31:08Every time they get a new toy, they want to play with it.
31:13Usually the first thing that they'll do is they'll activate this device near their home.
31:19So I look at the first thing that's on that line of where it is.
31:22And that leads me to Topping Avenue in the Bronx.
31:26It's less than a half a mile from the crime scene at the McDonald's.
31:31So then I turn around and I start my video canvas.
31:34I go up and down Topping Avenue and I walk into this one building
31:37and I go and I start downloading video and reviewing video.
31:41And I see the GPS device being used.
31:46It looks like being tested by two males out in front of the address.
31:51And all my other attempts, their masks are hooded.
31:53But these guys are standing right out in plain view
31:56and I can see exactly who they are.
31:58These aren't your mafia type.
32:04At the same time, a Bloods member named Ron Caby,
32:11who was arrested in Manhattan a few months earlier for discarding that firearm,
32:16came forward and said to the police,
32:18He feels that he's going to be wrapped up in this whole thing
32:32and he wants to get ahead of it and he wants to cut a deal
32:35and give up who everybody is.
32:37He tells them that he was offered $10,000 from a Bloods associate to kill an older man.
32:48He was given intimate details about the person that he was going after,
32:55from security codes to where surveillance cameras were located in the residences
33:03to routines, times of day, that the victim might be home.
33:11And when he went to shoot and kill an elderly man, his gun jammed.
33:19Now the light bulbs are going off, okay?
33:22Now it's a murder-for-hire case.
33:24And the people who are outside using that GPS device,
33:28they're just hired hitmen.
33:30Who's going out and employing them?
33:31That's what I want to find out.
33:34But Ron Caby does not know who the handler is.
33:38He doesn't know who the mastermind behind this whole thing is.
33:41He just knows that they were hired to kill Sylvester Zatola.
33:45But Ron Caby tells us the names of the people using the GPS
33:49that was used to murder Sally Datz.
33:54That's Person Shelton.
33:57And that's Hyman Ross.
34:01I'm giving an opportunity to kind of explain what happened that day.
34:08Explain what?
34:09Why don't you tell us?
34:10I don't have enough attention, man.
34:16We established probable cause, and now we're turning around.
34:19We're arresting Person Shelton at his residence in Brooklyn.
34:22We tend to imagine killers of mobsters as just looking the way the mobster look.
34:30But Bushon Shelton is just a regular guy from Brooklyn.
34:35Went to college in the Bronx.
34:37I remember looking at Shelton's LinkedIn page, and I was thinking,
34:43oh, this is just like an average guy.
34:46When we do the search of his residence, we find a firearm,
34:49which is not part of our crime.
34:52But we also find cell phones.
34:53Sean Shelton's cell phone revealed text messages
34:59between he and somebody else speaking in movie terms and movie vernacular.
35:09For example, Shelton was referring to himself as the director.
35:14And shortly after the murder was done,
35:19he texted something to the effect of,
35:22the movie is shot, or the movie is over.
35:26These are cold words about the murder.
35:29And we start seeing all the messages
35:32that were going back and forth to an unknown number.
35:36So that phone number is now submitted.
35:39Now they're going to find out in the subscriber information
35:42on who owns that phone.
35:43And when I get that phone call,
35:46it was probably one of the best phone calls
35:48I've ever gotten in my life.
35:52It was the wow moment of this entire case,
35:56and probably in my career as well,
35:58to find out that his own son, Anthony Zatolo,
36:01organized the murder of his father.
36:05I was like, wait, Anthony?
36:08The guy's son was grieving at the funeral?
36:13And just thought, like, who knew?
36:16I think anybody covering this case
36:18knew that there was a part of this
36:21that was an inside job of some sort.
36:24Can he go inside?
36:26Is that okay?
36:32Everything started making sense.
36:35I mean, he knew where his father was all the time.
36:39He knew that there was video cameras inside the residence.
36:42He knew the code to get into the back of his house
36:45and through his kitchen.
36:46He knew all of that.
36:47It's very, very rare that organized crime
36:52will bring in somebody from the outside,
36:56somebody from a street gang,
36:58to do their dirty work.
37:00But Anthony had to go outside of their circle.
37:08Bouchon Shelton, he's the guy or the subcontractor
37:11where you go to and you say,
37:13I need this, this, and this,
37:14and then he finds the people to do the job
37:16and who knew how to pull off violent attacks.
37:19Anthony was arrested
37:34the day after Father's Day
37:37for his own father's murder.
37:41He doesn't have remorse.
37:44And that was the shocking
37:45throughout this entire ordeal.
37:49Anthony played the loving son
37:53while he was pulling all the strings.
37:56I don't know for certain,
37:58but I'm not sure that Anthony has a soul.
38:04So detectives are thinking,
38:06what's the motive here?
38:08Once we make the arrest,
38:10we look into Anthony Zatolo.
38:14Sally Dad had multiple businesses
38:15from real estate
38:16to also Joker poker machines.
38:19Anthony was running
38:20the real estate arm of this business.
38:25But the eldest son, Salvatore,
38:28was running the Joker poker portion
38:31of this business
38:31and worked more closely
38:33with the mob associates
38:35and the folks with the social clubs.
38:38I think this was a case
38:41of Anthony wiping out
38:44his brother and his father,
38:47wanting dad's money,
38:49wanting the brother's money
38:50as the only way
38:52to ascend in the family
38:54and become the guy.
38:56The only motive
38:59that is clear as day
39:01is the motive of greed.
39:05Sally.
39:07Just a good guy, man.
39:09We would take it back.
39:11Our world usually doesn't happen
39:12over money.
39:13You respect your father,
39:14you're going to kill him
39:14or your brother.
39:16But you've got to be out of your mind
39:17to do something like that.
39:33Sean Shelton tells the U.S. attorney,
39:35Hyman Ross is the guy
39:36that was a shooter.
39:38Prosecutors said Hyman Ross
39:40was a violent member
39:41of the Blood Street Gang
39:42with a felony record.
39:44I mean,
39:44he was definitely
39:45someone capable
39:47of pulling off
39:48a targeted killing
39:49in a drive-thru.
40:11It took them over a year
40:17really to succeed
40:18because of the different players
40:19that they had involved.
40:21And that's also
40:21what kind of threw us off
40:22during the case.
40:25You went from guys
40:26who really had no experience
40:27trying to carry this out
40:29to, at the end,
40:30more experienced guys
40:32that were able
40:32to get the job done.
40:34I think the most
40:35bothersome part
40:37about this case
40:38is that
40:40the elder Zatola
40:41did everything
40:43for his children.
40:45And yet,
40:46it wasn't enough
40:48for Anthony.
40:50Anthony was still
40:52interacting with his father
40:54at birthdays,
40:56at family events,
40:58making money
40:58off of his father,
41:00meantime,
41:01secretly plotting
41:03his demise.
