71-year-old mob associate Sylvester Zottola survived six assassination attempts over a one-year period, only to get gunned down and murdered doing something he did often - order a cup of coffee at a McDonald's drive-thru in the Bronx.
"It was a hit, there's no doubt about it," said retired NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce. "It's a unique case in the fact that it overtly looks like a mob related case and it wasn't."
In court, Shelton had an opportunity to speak directly to the Zottola family and said "I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry" and "I've been waiting for years to express my regret and my remorse to you." Detectives said Sylvester, known as Sally Daz, made a fortune off joker poker machines and invested that money into a multimillion dollar real estate portfolio."He was good friend with Vincent Basciano," said Boyce. "Sylvester was an associate, he wasn't made."
After recovering from the slashing, in June of 2018 a hooded man held a pistol to Zottola's head outside his home, but the gun misfired. Zottola got out his own gun and fired back. It's captured on home surveillance camera.
