Canonical: https://mobfiles.org/people/albert-anastasia/

Kefauver Committee witness in New York, described in a 1950s FBI memorandum as a waterfront racketeer. New York police testified in 1963 that he was the last predecessor of Carlo Gambino and was shot to death in a barber shop in 1957.

The year of death is from Shanley's testimony. No federal record opened for this page names the barber shop or the day, so neither is given.
