Peter “Pistol Pete” Rollack

Peter ‘Pistol Pete’ Rollack

Pistol Pete and the Blood affiliated Sex, Money and Murder gang were the scourge of the Soundview section of the Bronx back in the day. In his teens and into his early twenties Pistol Pete acquired a reputation as a ruthless killer, who made millions in the drug game in the late 80’s and early 90’s. He was known as one of the most feared and powerful men in New York during the crack era, who could get people killed with his word alone. His influence and organization stretched south from the city’s five boroughs reaching out and touching states all across the eastern seaboard. Pistol Pete was one of Soundview’s Original Gangsters, setting the bar high for his hood and the Northeast Bronx.

In the city and all down the coast Pistol Pete was known for bustin’ his guns with no conscious. When it came to that gun smoke, the kid didn’t play. He was all business. It’s rumored his body count numbered over three dozen. The kid was quick to pull and quicker to blast. He lived by that NWA credo, “It’s not about a salary its all about reality.” That’s why they called him Pistol Pete. He was like a gunslinger from the old west. A modern day Billy the Kid. Many of the murders Rollack was allegedly involved in were ordered from his prison cell. Even after being locked up he still controlled his set- Sex, Money and Murder, from jail, as they wreaked havoc on the streets of the Bronx and beyond. Even to this day Pistol Pete’s name is revered in the South Bronx and the walls and buildings still carry the SMM markings from Pete’s heyday. Because of all this, Pistol Pete has gone down as a true certified street legend.

Part 1- Growing up in Soundview The notorious Soundview/Castle Hill sections of the Bronx were known for poverty, crime-ridden projects and rampant drug sales and abuse. This cauldron of go-hard, gully streets defined what a ghetto was and it wasn’t anything nice. These same streets were where Pistol Pete grew up and came of age. They spawned the child that became Pistol Pete. “The neighborhood is good for dope and crack.” Money, a Bronx native from the era says. “That area is the same like Hunt’s Point. That shit is twisted. It’s all the South Bronx area. Spots everywhere.” And Pistol Pete was no stranger to the game. You could say he was born into it.

In court papers it was said Pistol Pete’s criminal behavior stemmed from his early years in a dysfunctional family. His father, the papers pointed out, was serving a 50-year prison term for his role in a drug organization. “Pete subconsciously idolized his father,” the papers said even though his father abandoned his mother and spent most of Pete’s childhood in prison. His father, Leonard Rollack, was convicted of racketeering charges in the 1980’s. He was allegedly connected to the Nicky Barnes organization. Gene Gotti, Angelo Ruggiero and Mark Reither from the Gambino crime family were his co-defendants.
