On June 9, 1978, the life of 20-year-old Kevin Gueli was cut short in Brooklyn, New York. His body was discovered inside his car, which was parked behind the Kings Plaza Diner in the Mill Basin neighborhood. Gueli had been shot multiple times in the head.
Investigations into his death revealed that Gueli's murder was connected to his involvement with the notorious DeMeo Crew, a faction of the Gambino crime family.
The motive for his killing was reportedly an attempt to scam Chris Rosenberg, a member of the crew, in a cocaine deal.
The DeMeo Crew, led by Roy DeMeo, was known for its extreme violence and was responsible for a large number of murders throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. While specific individuals from the crew who participated in Gueli's murder are not explicitly named in the available information, the participants in other crew-related killings included individuals such as Anthony Senter, Roy DeMeo, Henry Borelli, Edward Grillo, Joseph Guglielmo, Chris Rosenberg, and Joseph Testa.
