This Day in History: 05/23/1934 - Police Kill Bonnie and Clyde. In this This Day in History video, take a look at May 23, the day in 1934 when police finally caught up to Bonnie and Clyde and killed them. In 1701, Captain William Kidd was hanged in London for piracy and murder.
Bonnie died wearing a wedding ringâbut it wasnât Clydeâs. Six days before turning 16, Bonnie married high school classmate Roy Thornton. The marriage disintegrated within months, and Bonnie never again saw her husband after he was imprisoned for robbery in 1929. Soon after, Bonnie met Clyde, and although the pair fell in love, she never divorced Thornton. On the day Bonnie and Clyde were killed in 1934, she was still wearing Thorntonâs wedding ring and had a tattoo on the inside of her right thigh with two interconnected hearts labeled âBonnieâ and âRoy.â.
