Seems to be a guy named Gino Riccelli...
and searching for Gino Riccelli brings up some interesting results in local Pgh news.. someone by that name got hit up for drug charges and trying to kill a Trooper during a traffic stop..

Reading the reviews on Yelp of Seven, it doesn't sound like the classiest or most above-board place - numerous complaints of staff there stealing customers credit cards.

Sooo.. check this out..

our very own Seven here in Pgh has a sister location in Providence, RI: https://sevennightclubs.com/
And look what happened at the Providence location....

The city’s Board of Licenses postpones a hearing on the licenses of the nightclub, which will remain closed until at least July 10 because of the fatal beating and stabbing of a 28-year-old man by a group of patrons.

PROVIDENCE — The city’s liquor authority will wait at least another week to consider the future of Club Seven on Federal Hill after police said a group of patrons stabbed and beat a man to death nearby.

But the police chief, neighbors of the nightclub, and the family of victim Stephen Cabral said Wednesday that they know what should happen: Shut down Club Seven for good.

“This is unacceptable — completely unacceptable,” Providence’s police chief, Col. Hugh T. Clements Jr., said after the meeting. “It should not be tolerated.”

“We’re prepared to make a case for revocation on this club,” Clements said, referring to a permanent closing of the club by revoking its licenses.

I don't get it. Every source failed to mention the name of the bar. I can see getting the name removed from one source but all of them. No one has that much clout. Makes no sense to me. Maybe I am wrong but I think the name of the bar is relevant to the story. Maybe someone with a journalism degree can explain why they would fail to mention the name of the bar.

Kind of odd as they usually mention the place. The Savoy was plastered all over the news when they had a shooting.

More and more the media has an agenda. Facts are reported or omitted based on if they are consistent or contrary to the message they media wants to portray.
