In October 2018, Sylvester Zottola, known to the authorities as an associate of one of New York crime families, was shot once in the head and four times in the torso as he waited for a cup of coffee at a McDonald’s drive-thru in the Bronx.
On Wednesday, his eldest son, Anthony Zottola, was convicted of orchestrating the messy murder-for-hire plot that led to his father’s slaying, as well as the shooting of his younger brother, Salvatore, who was left for dead outside his family’s compound in July 2018. Anthony Zottola had gone after his family members to get his hands on their multi-million-dollar real estate business, according to prosecutors, who said he worked with the Bloods street gang to carry out the assassination.
