He was previously charged with aggravated assault and weapon possession after stabbing and beating two men in 1982. On October 31, 1989, Nicky, Jr., the son of imprisoned Philadelphia family boss Nicky Scarfo, Sr., was shot in an Italian restaurant in Bella Vista. The younger Scarfo was shot eight times with a MAC-10 but was not hit in any vital organs. He quickly recovered and left the hospital less than two weeks later.

No one was ever charged with the attempted murder. Still, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local law enforcement believe Merlino carried out the shooting to settle a score between the Scarfos and Merlinos and to show that the elder Scarfo had no more power in Philadelphia. Merlino denied any involvement and claimed he was at home under house arrest the night of the shooting. Years later when a TV reporter approached Merlino and asked about a rumored $500,000 bounty on his life, Merlino responded “Give me the half million dollars and I’ll shoot myself.”
