The reward for killing Billy the Kid, an infamous outlaw of the American Old West, was set at $500. This bounty was offered by the governor of New Mexico Territory, Lew Wallace, due to Billy's criminal activities, including cattle rustling and murder. Despite his notoriety, Billy the Kid was ultimately killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett in 1881, who collected the reward.

Garrett went after Billy the Kid after the Kid had escaped from jail, killing two men in the process. He arrived at Peter Maxwell's ranch on July 14, 1881 to question him about Billy's whereabouts. As Maxwell and Garrett sat in Peter's darkened bedroom in Old Fort Sumner, Billy unexpectedly entered the room. Billy didn't recognize Garrett in the poor lighting conditions and asked "¿Quien es? ¿Quien es?" (Spanish for "Who is it? Who is it?), to which Garrett responded with two shots from his revolver, the first striking Billy's heart.
