Billy the Kid broke out of jail in April 1881 by seizing an opportunity when he was being transferred to another facility. He managed to overpower a deputy sheriff and took his revolver, then shot his way out of the Lincoln County jail in New Mexico. This daring escape allowed him to evade capture and continue his life as an outlaw. The incident further solidified his notorious reputation in the American West.
