mob hit
Gangland murder contract
A mob hit is a murder carried out by or on behalf of organized crime, typically planned and executed by professional killers: The restaurant shooting had all the hallmarks of a mob hit.
The term evokes gangland executions—targeted, deliberate killings ordered by crime bosses to eliminate rivals, informants, or anyone who crosses the organization.
