The Detroit Mafia as a sound, cohesive, loosely unified organization can be traced back to the early 20th century "Motor City" Mafiosi that came together to begin what would be eventually known by the early 1930s as the Detroit crime family or Detroit Partnership. Gaspar Milazzo, a very influential Prohibition-era mobster was born in 1887 and was originally from Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily. He decided to relocate to Detroit from Brooklyn in 1921 after he and a close associate, fellow Castellmmarese Clan leader Stefano Magaddino were implicated in a New Jersey area murder concerning a longtime feud or vendetta between two old world Mafia factions from Castelllammare.
