How was the Kid killed?he was shot by Pat Garrett on July 14, 1881(I, for one, think it was in the back - Billy would've killed Garrett first if he had been facing him. So I agree with Billy's good friend Deluvina Maxwell)

The killer that killed his father(real dad)

He first killed Frank 'Windy' Cahill, after Windy kept throwing him around and slapping him in front of everybody when he saw Billy. It was self defense, but he was still arrested for it as the local jury determined that it was "criminal and unjustified."
