Biography[]
Dino Zerilli was a childhood friend of Jackie Aprile Jr., and he became his partner-in-crime and an associate in Ralph Cifaretto's crew of the DiMeo crime family. He helped Aprile with dealing with the disruptive Hispanics at Pizzaland, and he was arrested for helping Aprile with other crimes. On his release, he joined Aprile's scheme to rob Eugene Pontecorvo's low-stakes card game to gain the respect of the more senior mobsters, and they teamed up with Carlo Renzi. The scuffle in the Aprile hangout left Renzi dead, and Aprile boosted a car to escape. However, Aprile sped past Zerilli, and he faced an angry Christopher Moltisanti and Albert Barrese. He told them that he was with Cifaretto, attempting to reason with them, but they instead shot him several times in the face.
