Included in the donation are copies of the crime scene photos taken following the murder of Munsene and his nephew Felix Monfrino, who were shot at the Prime Steak House, 602 South Park, on March 24, 1941.  The Warren Tribune Chronicle listed possible 
motives for Munsene's slaying, including his activity in the local numbers racket, his connections at the dog tracks in Fowler and Milton, and his influence on local elections.  
Monfrino is reported to have held the liquor license to the Prime Steak House. Munsene's last rites were conducted at his home, and he was buried in Oakwood Cemetery.  Thomas Viola and Charles Monazym were arrested for the murder.  While Monazym was never tried, Viola was given a life sentence to be served in the Ohio Penitentiary.

Crime scene photos may be viewed in the Local History & Genealogy Center.
