Would like to see a source on Reles using an icepick -- believe this is confused with another gangster Willy Alderman. Jrm2007 00:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shapiro Brothers

The section Revenge against Shapiro Brothers states that Reles (possibly with help) killed both Irving and Meyer [in the street]; but the Shapiro_Brothers page lists different killers and a different location for Meyer's death (although bodies can be moved). Both articles seem to agree that Reles was involved in the death of Willie Shapiro. Wcichello (talk) 18:02, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Use of 'defenestration' in the infobox

Is this accurate? Defenestration implies that Reles was thrown out of the window by someone else, but it's not actually clear whether that's the case. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 15:10, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
