Sonny Corleone was shot at a toll booth in "The Godfather" by rival mobsters working for Barzini, specifically orchestrated by his own brother-in-law, Carlo Rizzi. Carlo betrayed Sonny by informing Barzini about his movements, leading to the ambush. This betrayal ultimately sets off a chain of events that deepens the conflict between the Corleone family and their enemies.

Sonny Corleone is killed due to a combination of his impulsive nature and a betrayal within the family. After his father, Vito Corleone, is nearly assassinated, Sonny takes a reckless approach to retaliate against rival gangsters, exposing himself to danger. His aggressive actions make him a target, and he is ambushed at a toll booth by the Barzini family, who exploit his lack of caution. This assassination is a strategic move to weaken the Corleone family by eliminating its most volatile and aggressive member.

If I recall correctly, the first Don was Vito Corleone (played by Marlon Brando). From there, I believe that Santino "Sonny" Corleone (played by James Cahn) was the second Don for a very short time. The final Don was Michael Corleone (played by Al Pacino). I hope that helps.

Technically Sonny's son did take over the business in the end;
Santino Corleone had four children with his wife Sandra,
Francesca Corleone (Born 1937)Kathryn Corleone (Born 1937)(Twins)Frank Corleone (Born 1940)Santino Jr. (Born 1945)
But he also had an illegitimate child, Vincent Mancini Corleone, with his mistress Lucy Mancini. Vincent was concieved before his death and born after he was shot up at the toll way.
...Now to go along with the story there is a lot of give and take. In the book after Sonny's death Sandra moved to Florida to live with her family. But the book also says that Lucy Mancini never had a child and was sent to live in Las Vegas as the Familie's guest.
So with two of his sons in Florida, way from the family business and Vincent rejoining his uncle Michael in hopes of progressing through the family business, naturally it was Vincent who would take over the family
