Louis Capone (1896 - 4 March, 1944) was an American organized crime figure. He was not related to Al Capone.
Capone was a member of a murder-for-hire gang made up of street-level Jewish and Italian-American gangsters working out of Brooklyn, New York during the 1930s. This gang, who came to be known in the news media as Murder, Inc., carried out gangland murders in the New York City area under the direction of Louis Buchalter and Albert Anastasia.
Louis Capone died in the electric chair in Sing Sing Prison on the night of 4 March, 1944, the same night that his boss Buchalter was executed.
Capone was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery, New York City, USA
