Mad Dog Coll

Full Name: Uinseann Ó Colla
Profession: Mob Hitman

Biography: Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll was known for his ruthless methods and involvement in numerous gangland killings during the Prohibition era in New York City.

Born in Ireland in 1908, Coll emigrated to the United States with his family as a young child. He quickly became involved in criminal activities, joining street gangs and developing a reputation for his wildness and violence.

In the late 1920s, Coll began working as an enforcer and assassin for Dutch Schultz, a notorious mobster. Their relationship soured, however, leading to a violent gang war between the two.

Coll formed his own gang and engaged in kidnappings to finance his operations, including the high-profile kidnapping of George "Big Frenchy" DeMange.

Coll's notoriety peaked with the alleged accidental killing of a child during a kidnapping attempt in 1931, earning him the nickname "Mad Dog." Despite being acquitted of the murder, Coll became a target for other mobsters, including Dutch Schultz and Owney Madden, who placed a $50,000 bounty on his head.

In February of 1932, at the age of 23, Coll was killed by gunmen while using a phone booth in Manhattan. His killers were never identified.
