Nicodemo Salvatore "Nicky" Scarfo Jr. (born June 9, 1965), sometimes known by the nicknames "Junior", "Nick Promo", and "Mr. Apple" is an American mobster and a member of the Lucchese crime family. Scarfo Jr. is the son of former Philadelphia crime family boss Nicodemo "Little Nicky" Scarfo Sr.
In 1989, Scarfo Jr. was the victim of a notorious assassination attempt by a masked gunman on Halloween. The attempted hit, by a gunman wearing a Batman mask, occurred at Dante and Luigi's, an Italian restaurant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After the murder attempt, his father arranged for him to be inducted into the Lucchese crime family in the mid-1990s. Scarfo Jr. became the caporegime of the Lucchese family's Jersey Crew in the early 2000s before getting arrested.
