Jimmy Capotorto

Jimmy Capotorto, better known as Jimmy Cap, is a Miami crimeboss who took over from the deceased Ed Grossi. He was an associate of Brooklyn crimeboss Momo and the dangerous Frank DePhillips in Los Angeles. After a coat belonging to one of Momo's men, Chili Palmer, was stolen by one of Cap's, Ray Bones, Chili broke Bones' nose while taking back the coat, and in retaliation Bones broke into the barbershop where Palmer and Carlo worked from in an attempt to kill him only for Chili to fire a bullet which skimmed over Ray's head, injuring him. Cap and Momo briefly discussed the incident but thought nothing of it, leading Ray to have Momo shot dead as he left a restaurant in Manhattan.
