No. He died in 1947.

Alphonse Gabriel "Al" Capone was a notorious American gangster who led a Prohibition-era crime syndicate in Chicago from the early 1920s to 1931. He was convicted of tax evasion in 1931 and sentenced to federal prison. He was one of the early inmates at the then-new United States Penitentiary, Alcatraz Island. He was released on parole in 1939.

In the later years of Capone's life, his physical and mental health deteriorated due to late-stage neurosyphilis, a disease he contracted in his youth. In 1946, his physician and a psychiatrist performed examinations and concluded that Capone then had the mental capacity of a 12-year-old child. He died at age 48 from cardiac arrest on January 25, 1947 after suffering a stroke.

No Al Capone era gangsters are still alive. A member of the Lucchese or Genovese is 96 or 97. 1920s - 1940s are the oldest gangsters alive.
