New article created 2 days ago, which is certainly long enough and well sourced, copy-vio free and has no BLP issues. Great work on the article!
The hook is interesting, and the only issue I can see is that the cited source (ref 11, Kenosha news) doesn't explicitly verify the hook (Milwaukee Mafia) - it suggests that victim was in organised crime, and was the victim of rivalry between 'organised crime .. factions'. The link with named individuals is made in ref 1. 'my cousin was killed .. mob boss suspected'. This could be resolved by using a different link to the hook?

- @Chaiten1: The words used over and in the Kenosha article and others is organized crime, I changed the hook to read "organized crime in Milwaukee". However the main suspect in the crime was the head of the Milwaukee Mafia Frank Balistrieri - you can see the claims in that Milwaukee Mafia article. You can read about it in the reference for that section of our article. They call Balistrieri a "very well known mafia boss". Our article, August Palmisano we say:
The main suspect in the bombing was the boss of the Milwaukee mafia, Frank Balistrieri. Undercover agent Gail Cobb reported that Balistrieri said, "He [August] was arrogant. He called me a name to my face. Now he has no skin". Balistrieri also reportedly told the agent that nobody ever survived to be a witness against him.

Thank you - and sorry for the delay!
Good to go for me.
