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]

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]

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]
