Pretty Boy Floyd, born Charles Arthur Floyd, passed away at the age of 30 on 1934-10-22 00:00:00 UTC. He was an infamous bank robber and Depression-era folk hero who evaded authorities for nearly a decade. He is known for his high degree of chivalry amongst his friends and for his shooting skills. Pretty Boy Floyd began his career in crime in 1924, committing his first robbery in 1925. He traveled extensively in his criminal career, staging robberies across many states. Even after being charged with multiple felonies, he continued to elude authorities, becoming a gross public nuisance. In 1932, Floyd was put on J. Edgar Hoover's Most Wanted list, a rare honor for a criminal. Pretty Boy Floyd’s death was attributed to a shootout with federal agents in a cornfield in East Liverpool, Ohio. His death put an end to his illustrious criminal career and a legend that had captivated the public’s attention. He leaves a legacy behind in the hearts of those who admired him for his unwavering loyalty, cunning, and impeccable behavior to those who surrounded him.
