Once upon a time, there was a young couple named Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. They met in Texas in the early 1930s and quickly fell in love. They embarked on a crime spree together, robbing banks and small businesses across the southern United States.
They were known for their charm and good looks, as well as their ruthless nature. Bonnie was known for carrying a gun and being just as ruthless as Clyde. They had a small gang of criminals who joined them on their robberies. They were also known for their flashy cars, often stealing them to use in their crimes.
Their crime spree lasted for two and a half years before they were finally caught by law enforcement in Louisiana. On May 23, 1934, they were ambushed and killed in a hail of bullets while driving in a stolen car.
