According to a February 23, 1943 United Press report, Speedy Dado was shot and wounded at a Los Angeles area cafe, following an altercation with 36-year old Clyde Vickers. Dado had confronted Vickers, and asked him why he was carrying a gun, and then attempted to take the gun from Vickers. In his attempt to seize the weapon, the gun went off and shot Dado.
