A business associate who went to Blitzstein's townhouse Tuesday morning found him shot to death inside. Blitzstein had been shot once by an unknown assailant, police said.

The 61-year-old Blitzstein, known as 'Fat Herbie,' recently had worked at a used car lot. He died much the same as did Spilotro, who was found beaten to death along with his brother, Michael, in an Illinois cornfield in 1986.

'They were always together,' said lawyer Oscar Goodman, who occasionally represented Spilotro and Blitzstein. 'They were good friends and good fellas together. It's a terrible shame they both had to meet such tragic endings.'

At age 57, he was sentenced in 1999 by U.S. District Judge Philip Pro to 7-1/2 years in prison for conspiring to extort longtime mob associate Herbert 'Fat Herbie' Blitzstein, who was slain in. Back in the old days, Fat Herbie Blitzstein was a somebody, a man to step aside from, under Tony Spilotro, back in the 1980's when Spilotro and his crew ruled Vegas.

He was indicted on racketeering charges along with Spilotro in 1985, but they were dropped when a witness declined to testify against him.

After Spilotro was killed in 1986 while awaiting retrial on the racketeering charges, organized crime influence waned in Las Vegas.

Metro homicide Lt. Wayne Petersen said Blitzstein was shot in the upper body, but he declined to say where. He said the body was found in the living room of the townhouse, which Blitzstein rented. Petersen said Blitzstein was last heard from about 7 p.m. the night before.

'I can't understand why anyone would want to take the time to kill Herbie,' Goodman said.
