Jack Whalen

Jack Whalen (d. December 2, 1959) was a freelance contract killer, who most often worked for the Los Angeles crime family, although he also was associated with Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, the Shannon brothers and Mickey Cohen during the 1940s and 1950s. [Bunker, Edward. "Education of a Felon: A Memoir". New York: St. Martin's Press, 2000. (pg. 54) ISBN 0-312-28076-9]

He was eventually killed at Rondelli's in Sherman Oaks in the presence of Mickey Cohen and four of his associates, ["Juvenile Delinquency: Hearings before a Subcommittee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency". Washington, DC: Government Printing Office, 1971. (pg. 3255)] who were charged and later acquitted of his murder.
