Curtis Sliwa Murder Attempt

After entering a stolen taxi in Manhattan on June 19, 1992, two gunmen kidnapped and shot Curtis. The taxi picked up Curtis near his East Village home. During the incident a gunman in the front passenger seat sprang up and fired several shots, hitting him in the groin and legs. Apparently, the kidnapping was foiled when Curtis leaped from the moving cab’s front window and escaped. He has internal injuries and leg wounds but later underwent surgery.

Federal prosecutors charged John A. Gotti, the son of John Gotti, (Who was the leader of the Gambino crime family), with the attempted murder and a raft of other charges. Prosecutors claimed that Gotti was angry with Curtis’ remarks about Gotti’s father on his radio program. However, three separate juries were unable to agree to convict Gotti on all the charges brought against him after three attempts to try him, the last on September 20, 2005, and the charges were dropped.

Later, Jurors told reporters that they believed he had a role in shooting Curtis. Prosecutors refused to retry Gotti and the charges against him were dismissed. Curtis said he would seek civil court damages. Also charged with shooting Curtis in the incident was Michael Yannotti, a Gotti associate, but acquitted. However, Yannotti was sentenced on an unrelated racketeering charge to 20 years.
