On April 1, 1934, Bonnie and Clyde ran into two young highway patrolmen near Grapevine, Texas. Before the officers could draw their guns, they were shot. On April 6, 1934, a constable at Miami, Oklahoma, fell wounded by Bonnie and Clyde.
The Fbi had jurisdiction solely on the charge of transporting a stolen car. Every clue was followed wanted notices fingerprints, photograph, description, criminal record's. The Agents followed the trail through many states, particularly Louisiana. The association with Henry Methvin and the Methvin family of Louisiana was discovered by FBI Agents and they found that Bonnie and Clyde had been driving a car stolen in New Orlean's.
On April 13, 1934, an FBI Agent, through investigation in the vicinity of Ruston, Louisiana, found information which definitely placed Bonnie and Clyde in a remote section southwest of that community. The home of the Methvins was not far away and the Agent learned of visits there by Bonnie and Clyde.
The FBI and local cops in Louisiana and Texas concentrated on catching Bonnie and Clyde, whom they strongly believed to be in the area. It was learned that Bonnie and Clyde, with some of the Methvins, had staged a party at Black Lake, Louisiana, on the night of May 21, 1934, and were due to return to the area two days later.
Before dawn on May 23, 1934, a posse composed of police from Louisiana and Texas, including Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, hid themselves in bushes along the highway near Sailes, Louisiana. In the early daylight, Bonnie and Clyde appeared in a car and when they attempted to drive away, the officers opened fire. Bonnie and Clyde were killed instantly
