Garfield Boys

Garfield Boys

The Garfield Boys was a New York street gang based in Brooklyn's Red Hook district which roamed the streets of South Brooklyn from the early 20th century up until the 1970s. During the 1950s, the gang was headed by future Colombo crime family boss Carmine Persico, who people suspect committed several murders while he was a young member of the street gang.
