 Connolly was a suspect in over twenty homicides in the Boston area but has never been officially charged with murder.Connolly was considered a serious threat both inside and outside the Irish mob because of his large following, his contacts within the La Cosa Nostra (LCN) and his ability to pull people together from other gangs to form his own gang.Connolly is half Italian on his mother's side and has strong Sicilian roots.
