Jack Enea was a member of the Milwaukee Mafia, and was considered to be one of the “Young Turks”, which also included John DiTrapani and Frank LaGalbo, who had angled to take over leadership from Milwaukee Mafia boss John Alioto. Under Alioto’s rule, the muscling of gamblers and legitimate businesses stopped, but internal dissent continued. DiTrapani spread the word that he would pay for “hits” in order to get the leadership role. This would lead to his eventual death, Enea’s death, and cause LaGalbo to lose stature and to transfer his mafia membership.
On November 29, 1955, Jack Enea was murdered. His bullet-riddled body was found in a ditch in rural Waukesha County by a mail carrier. Enea had seven bullets from a .38 in him, two of those lodged in his spine. No one has been held accountable for his death.
