A group of gangsters assassinated Torrio's boss, Big Jim Colosimo, in 1920, for his non-cooperation with bootlegging and also to obstruct the reign of Torrio. On Saturday, January 24, 1925, in an assassination, gangsters attacked Torrio as he returned to his apartment at 7106 South Clyde Avenue from an outing with his wife, Anna. A hail of gunfire greeted Torrio's car. Torrio was hit in the jaw, lungs, groin, legs and stomach. Moran attempted to deliver a finishing blow to Torrio's skull, but was out of ammunition. The three North Siders left the scene. Torrio, seriously injured, survived. In 1925, Torrio retired and Capone became Chicago's crime boss, running gambling, prostitution and bootlegging schemes and expanding his territories by taking down rivals and rival gangs. Settled as an accountant, he would soon return to work for his former boss Johnny Torrio in Chicago. The unexpected death of Capone's father was a turning point. The sudden freedom from parental influence is believed to be the reason he stopped trying to maintain a respectful, law-abiding society.
