Benjamin Siegel

 Benjamin Siegel (February 28, 1906 – June 20, 1947), nicknamed "Bugsy".

Siegel was known as one of the most "infamous and feared gangsters of his day". Described as handsome and charismatic, he became one of the first front-page-celebrity gangsters. He was also a driving force behind the development of the Las Vegas Strip.
Siegel was one of the founders and leaders of Murder, Incorporated, and became a bootlegger during Prohibition. After Prohibition was repealed in 1933, he turned to gambling. In 1936, he left New York and moved to California. In 1939, Siegel was tried for the murder of fellow mobster Harry Greenberg, but was acquitted in 1942. On the night of June 20, 1947, as Siegel sat with his associate Allen Smiley in Virginia Hill's (His mistress) Beverly Hills home reading the Los Angeles Times, an assailant fired at him through the window with a .30-caliber military M1 carbine, hitting him many times, including twice in the head. No one was charged with the murder, and the crime remains officially unsolved. He is buried at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, inside the Beth Olam Mausoleum
