Kevin? Yes. Ali's here. Hi, Kevin. Hey, Ali. Thanks for participating in our goat rodeo here.

I love this subject. So happy to do it. Can you first, can you just sort of introduce yourself

and your beat these days? So I'm Ali Warkins. I work at the Metro desk at the times and my beat is

largely the New York City Police Department, but that encompasses a whole lot of things, whether

it's crime, counterterror, or we had a big spiking gang violence this year in Brooklyn. So we kind

of hop around all of that. And this story, the story you're here to talk about, where does it start

for you? So it starts late on the night of March 13th this past year when I started getting

frantic phone calls from my editor around 11.30 at night. And I think when you're on the Metrobeat

York City since 1985 Shakespeare said of kings uneasilyized the head that wears a crown. The same

might be said of those who rise to the top of organized crime. They get there by violence and

often is not they leave by violence. And you know, in the immediate aftermath of a mob murder like

that, you know, there's a million things you're trying to figure out. And the biggest one is who kill

them and oh my god, are there going to be more bodies dropping? Is this going to be some kind of mob war?

Good. Good afternoon, everyone. I'm joined here today with Lieutenant Charlie Francis to
