How many people did Bonnie and Clyde kill?

They were suspected of 13 murders, as well as multiple robberies and burglaries until they were killed in 1934. Barrow, for example, was wanted for the murders of two police officers in Joplin, Missouri, as well as the kidnapping of a man and a woman in rural Louisiana.

Bonnie Parker met the charismatic Clyde Barrow when she was 19 years old and her husband (whom she married when she was 16) was serving time in prison for murder in Texas. Barrow was arrested for robbery shortly after they met.

Parker paid him daily visits and smuggled a gun into prison to aid his escape, but he was apprehended in Ohio and returned to prison. When Barrow was released from prison in 1932, he quickly reconnected with Parker, and the two embarked on a life of crime together.

They invaded the Eastham Prison Farm in Texas in January 1934 to assist Hamilton in his escape, shooting several guards with machine guns and killing one.

Hamer tracked the couple to Louisiana, where Henry Methvin’s family lived, after a three-month search. On May 23, Hamer and several Louisiana and Texas law enforcement officers concealed in the bushes along a small road outside of Sailes before dawn.

Officers opened fire when Parker and Barrow arrived, killing the couple in a spray of gunfire.
