The True Story Of Scarface

Capone Was Never Charged With The St. Valentine’s Day Massacres

Seven men affiliated with the George “Bugs” Moran gang were shot to death in a garage in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago on Feb. 14, 1929, in what became known as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. Five of the dead men worked for Moran, while the other two were an optometrist and a mechanic. The men were attacked by at least four men, two of whom were dressed as police officers. Capone was one of Moran’s rivals, and even though he was in Florida when the murders took place, there was much speculation that he was responsible for the hits, but he was never charged.
