This photo below was taken just hours before their criminal spree came to a violent end on May 23, 1934, when law enforcement ambushed their vehicle in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, riddling it with bullets. The relentless pursuit of Bonnie and Clyde ended with their deaths, bringing an end to one of the most infamous crime sagas in American history.

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, as they were formally known, went on a crime spree in the 1930s that captured the imagination of the American public.
Born in Texas in 1909, Clyde Barrow was a small-time criminal from a young age. Bonnie Parker, born in 1910, had dreams of becoming an actress but fell into a life of crime through her association with Clyde. They met in 1930, and their lives soon took a criminal turn.
Between 1932 and 1934, Bonnie and Clyde, along with their gang, carried out a series of bank robberies, burglaries, and murders across several states. Their ruthlessness and daring getaways made them infamous. They became symbols of rebellion against the economic hardships and law enforcement of the era.
