Harvey 'Christopher' Rosenberg in a mugshot taken sometime in the early 1970s.

Harvey 'Christopher' Rosenberg was a notorious member of a crew ran by Gambino soldier Roy DeMeo that is suspected of 125-200 murders in the mid 1970s to the early 1980s. He was said to be violently defensive about his height, and despite his Jewish heritage, felt his killing ability would eventually earn him a button in the Italian-only Gambino Family.

Rosenberg was ultimately murdered by the crew in May of 1979. It was Roy DeMeo and Anthony Senter who fired the fatal shots into Rosenberg's head. His body was then placed in his car, which was left parked on a New York street and then raked with machine gun fire by crew member Henry Borelli. This was done to ensure the murder was sensational enough to get a spot on one of New York's newspapers front pages so the right people would see it and know discipline had been dealt out.
