Dutch Schultz Dispatched 12 Hitmen to Take Out Bumpy Johnson, None Made It Out Alive - Harlem Untold

#BlackHistory #BumpyJohnson #MafiaStories February 14th, 1933. Deep in the basement of the Cotton Club. Twelve hitmen. One target: Bumpy Johnson. Dutch Schultz, New York’s most feared mob boss, had his eyes set on Harlem. And Bumpy Johnson was the only man standing in his way. So Schultz deployed his elite killers—Tommy “The Executioner” Vento, Marty “Icepick” Delaney, and ten more whose names were unknown even to the NYPD. They trapped Bumpy. No witnesses. No way out. Ninety minutes later, only one man emerged alive—and the message he carried back to Dutch Schultz shook Harlem to its core. This is the night that history books overlook: the night a 27-year-old enforcer cemented his legend, and the night the Italian mob realized that Harlem wasn’t for sale. #BumpyJohnson #TrueCrime #HarlemHistory #MafiaStories #BlackHistory #Godfather
