Embracing their notoriety, Bonnie and Clyde posed for this photo and then left the camera at a crime scene.

 
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow die during a police ambush in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. The infamous criminal duo had captivated the nation with their exploits, which included robbing banks, small businesses, and gas stations. Police, determined to catch them, set up a trap along an abandoned road and opened fire once Barrow’s stolen Ford V8 pulled to a stop. They reportedly shot the pair more than 50 times to ensure an end to their string of headline-grabbing escapades.
