While law enforcement notes indicated they were not "made" members of the criminal outfit themselves, investigators tracked potential financial and family ties to their brother Angelo's operations, including the Frolics Club in downtown Cleveland. Frank was gunned down during a card game in the back of a downtown Cleveland barbershop years after the murder of his brothers Big Joe and John Lonardo. While the crime was never solved, it was generally understood that his murder was part of a plot to eliminate all the Lonardo brothers connected with the bootlegging racket and that Frank Alessi was involved in the planning of the execution.
