Billy the Kid

You might have heard of Billy the Kid, but in case you haven’t, he was a known outlaw back in the 1800s. Between 1877 and 1881, he was involved in the shooting deaths of nine men – at least four of which he killed alone. In late 1880, the criminal was tracked down by Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett and forced to surrender. However, in April 1881, on the night before Billy was scheduled for a date with a hangman, he orchestrated a daring getaway. He managed to slip out of his handcuffs, ambush a guard, and get away from the prison.
