Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty Images On Oct. 15, 1890, New Orleans police chief David Hennessey was shot as he was walking home late at night. Hennessey returned fire, but was mortally wounded. When police captain William O’Connor asked him, “Who gave it to you, Dave?” Hennessey whispered “dagoes,” a racist term for Italians. “ASSASSINATED,” read the front-page headline on the New Orleans Daily Picayune the following day. “Ambuscaded at his doorstep and six bullets shot into his body, one of which is pronounced fatal. The murderers declared to be Italians of the criminal class.”
