Cascio-10 16:21, 27 February 2015 (EST)) "Ostensibly where like-minded farm managers could meet and discuss business," the Casino is later a known Mafia hangout. The shooter was Antonio Di Miceli, 33, a farmer, who went on a mad shooting spree in the middle of a crowd gathered to celebrate the honorable deputato Paternostro. Several other men were wounded in the shooting. Di Miceli, who had been in prison for domestic abuse to this wife three months prior to the shooting and involved in a violent altercation with a Coniglio, was immediately arrested after the incident.^[1]

The civil record gives the location and time of Stefano's death (Casino della Societa Agricola sito nella Piazza Inferiore al Numero centottantanove) in Corleone, at 7:30 PM. ^[2] The Church record says that Stefano is killed.
