The infamous Western outlaw known as “Billy the Kid” was
mostly likely born in a poor Irish neighborhood on New York
City’s East Side on November 23, 1859. (Much about his early
life is unknown or unverified.) Before he was shot dead at age
21, Billy reputedly killed at least nine people in the American
West.

Billy the Kid called himself William H. Bonney, but his original
name was probably Henry McCarty. Bonney was his mother
Catherine’s maiden name, and William was the first name of
his mother’s longtime companion—William Antrin—who acted
as Billy’s father after his biological father disappeared.

Sketch released of man wanted for rape of 12-year-old Renton, Washington girl.

Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to contact
Renton Police Department Detective Liberty Billingsley at lbillingsley@rentonwa.gov.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male with dark hair,
between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, medium
build, and facial hair or stubble. Police noted that their only
sketch of the suspect is from 2009, so his hairstyle has
probably changed. They added that he may have wrinkles
or glasses.

On October 5, 1892, the famous Dalton Gang attempted the daring daylight robbery of two Coffeyville, Kansas, banks at the same time.

But if the gang members believed the sheer audacity of their plan
would bring them success, they were sadly mistaken. Instead, they
were nearly all killed by quick-acting townspeople.

For a year and a half, the Dalton Gang had terrorized the state of Oklahoma, mostly concentrating on train holdups. Though the
gang had more murders than loot to their credit, they had managed
to successfully evade the best efforts of Oklahoma law officers to
bring them to justice.
