Maxwell Sicily, aka George Smith, was the son of famous mob boss Carmine Sicily. During the day, he went by the name George Smith and worked at a restaurant.

Then Maxwell went downstairs and held the guests hostage at gunpoint.

Answer: Marcus

Just after Marcus admitted he was behind the plot to have Bobby killed, Bobby kicked Marcus, all without being able to see. Then Kris almost got free. Maxwell thought he was losing control of the hostages, so he randomly fired into the crowd. The bullet hit Marcus Citroen and killed him.
