In June 1959 he was wounded when a volley of shots was fired through a window at the Madison Cab Co. in Buffalo. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition from multiple bullet wounds and survived. His assailant, James Delmont, fled the Buffalo area, but was found less than a year later in a field outside of San Bernardino, Calif., a victim of a gangland murder.
His head had been battered in with a blunt instrument.
Cannarozzo at the time of the shooting, declined to assist the Buffalo police in their investigation and would not tell the police who shot him, which is typical of the gangland code of silence.
