The 414 Bloody Bricks Of The St Valentine's Day Massacre

Contract killer Frank Gusenberg sustained fourteen bullet wounds on February 14, 1929, in the SMC Cartage Warehouse at 2122 North Clark Street in Chicago. He was the last victim to die in one of the most notorious gangland slayings in America, the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, a gruesome crime that has mysteriously put nobody in jail.
