Biography
Seymour "Blue Jaw" Magoon (born 1908, year of death unknown) was an American hitman in New York's Murder, Inc. gang, one of many members who were implicated by the testimony of former member and government informant Abe "Kid Twist" Reles.
A longtime member of Murder, Inc., Magoon was heavily involved in the painters' unions with Martin "Buggsy" Goldstein during the 1920s and 1930s. Magoon helped testify against the other members of Murder, Inc., along with Albert "Tick Tock" Tannenbaum and Sholem Bernstein. In 2003, Magoon's skeleton was uncovered in the desert outside Las Vegas. The incident inspired "Whatever Happened to Seymour Magoon?", a 2005 episode of "Las Vegas".
