Vid shows susp in eatery shoot
THE GUNMAN WHO shot up a mob-linked Brooklyn restaurant wore a fedora and a waist-length coat, police said Saturday.
The triggerman was caught on surveillance footage walking toward the Marco Polo Ristorante on Court St. and Union St. in Carroll Gardens moments before the gunfire at 6 a.m. on Feb. 25., cops said.
Several bullet fragments were found inside the eatery, cops said. No neighboring businesses were hit, leading investigators to believe the place was targeted.
Police were notified three hours after the gunshots when an employee showed up for a shift and noticed the damage.
The gunman is described as a thin white man, about 6’2’’. He was wearing a dark-colored jacket and light-colored pants, police said.
In 2008, restaurant owner Joseph (Marco Polo) Chirico, a reputed Gambino soldier, was busted in a sweeping mob indictment.
He got a slap on the wrist — six months of house arrest for money laundering and permission to spend 10 hours a day at his restaurant.
