As Geno studied his paper a sedan pulled up out front. A "powerfully built" man emerged flanked by two other guys, each holding a handgun. The two gunmen stood outside the restaurant as their confederate entered the establishment. Geno was still absorbed in his periodical as the man stopped at each table inspecting the occupants. When he got to Geno's table he drew a nickle plated pistol. Looking up, Geno jumped from his chair and started to speak, but was cut off with a shot to the mouth. "That's for talking to much," the gunman said.
Wounded, Geno dodged behind a busboy but the gunman shot the employee in the leg and he dropped, exposing Geno again. Another shot went into the gangster's neck. With no where else to hide, Geno leapt at the gunman who backed off and fired off another five shots. All missed Geno but three other patrons were wounded.
The gunman exited the restaurant and was escorted back into the sedan by his two confederates. At the hospital Geno refused to tell detectives who shot him before dying. Police said he a gang of bootleggers from Washington D.C. got him for giving information to police.
