Aftermath
In June 1972, Donald Killeen was murdered by Jimmy Mantville, another enforcer for the Mullen Gang. In the aftermath, the leadership of the Killeen crew devolved on Bulger. However, Bulger and the other Killeen loyalists fled Boston after the murder of their boss. Instead of murdering them as some Mullen gangsters wished, Mullen leader Patrick Nee arranged for the dispute to be mediated by Winter Hill Gang boss Howie Winter and Joseph Russo of the Patriarca crime family. After a sit-down in Boston's South End, the Mullen and Killeen gangs joined forces with Howie Winter as overall boss. In November 1974, Bulger, "took care of the right brother."
