Berman and Landau were dead by the next morning. Schultz lingered through the following day before succumbing to his wounds. Rosenkrantz died hours after his boss.
The killings reportedly were ordered by the leaders of New York City Mafia organizations, who sought to prevent Schultz's planned murder of prosecutor Thomas Dewey and to consume Schultz's lucrative underworld rackets. Murder, Inc., gunmen Charles Workman and Emanuel Weiss have been identified as the shooters.
