Christian Tarantino was alleged to be involved with the murders of a guard of an armored car and two potential informants who could turn against him. Christian Tarantino is known as the owner of many fitness centers (Synergy Fitness Clubs) in New York City and Long Island. Christian Tarantino was accused of leading a double life. Police suspected Tarantino was involved in burglaries, car thefts, and armed robberies.
Law enforcement claimed Tarantino and his accomplices robbed an armored car in 1994 and escaped with $100,000. The guard, Julius Baumgardt, 47, was fatally shot. Louis Dorval, 30, supposedly fired the bullet that killed Julius Baumgardt. Vincent Gargiulo, 34, was murdered in 2003 after he got into bad terms with his business partner, Tarantino. They argued about the gyms in their partnership. Vincent Gargiulo had a tape recording of Tarantino talking about the deaths of Julius Baumgardt and Louis Dorval.

Look- I’ve known Chris since we’re five years old. He was one of my closest friends for nearly my whole life.
It’s easy for you to sit there and judge him and his family.
And what happened to those people is awful and horrendous, no doubt.
But remember that everything isn’t always what it appears to be and simply because some staff writers at Newsday found a sexy angle on this case and got some AP coverage and a front page byline, it doesn’t mean it’s gospel.
Did you know Vinnie? Or Dorval? Did you know what they were about?
All I’m saying is, the crimes were tragic. That’s indisputable. But the press– as we all know– makes a story out of a molehill.
Just think about it…

According to the indictment, Dorval was in a car when Pistone shot him in the head. Misserio and an unidentified third person also allegedly were in the car.
No motive was given.
According to the indictment, Dorval’s body was stuffed in a plastic toolbox and dumped in the ocean.
Do you think chis T was the unidentified third person in the car? And how does your average drug dealer live in a mansion and order hits with mobsters?
