"Hey! Joey! Hey Joey, up your ass!"
Lou Pennino to Joey Zasa

Lou Pennino was the right hand man of Don Vincenzo Corleone.

Biography

He started of as a member of Vincent's gang in Little Italy, later helping his boss to assassinate Joey Zasa, the current boss of Little Italy.

During the performance of Cavalleria Rusticana in the Teatro Massimo in Sicily, Pennino was head of security, who reported the death of The Twins to Vincent. He became a caporegime once Vincent became Don in the same year. It is most likely that Lou was Vincent Mancini-Corleone most loyal man due to them being friends. Lou also saw the family turn into a drug cartel.

possible death & possible leardership

It is likely Vincent and Lou were at each othersides most of the time (assisting vincent on drug deals, collections) so that also means that he could have been in the shootout with the police witch ended up in the death of Vincent resulting in Lou either being killed, arrested or a fugitive. After the death of Vincent he could have probably become boss of the Corleone family only if he survived the shoot out which he possibly could have been involved in.
