Clyde Barrow

Clyde Barrow was an American outlaw of the Great Depression era, infamous alongside Bonnie Parker as half of the criminal duo Bonnie and Clyde.

They led a gang across the American Southwest robbing banks, gas stations, and small stores, killing several people including law enforcement officers, until they were ambushed and shot dead by police in Louisiana in 1934.

Their story became a lasting symbol of Depression-era desperation and outlaw romance, immortalized in the 1967 film *Bonnie and Clyde*.
