This roadside marker in Bienville Parish, Louisiana marks the site where infamous outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were ambushed and killed on May 23, 1934, bringing one of America’s most notorious crime sprees to an end.
The quiet stretch of road contrasts sharply with the violent end that unfolded here, when law enforcement officers from Texas and Louisiana opened fire on the couple’s vehicle, killing both almost instantly.
The site lies only a short drive from the Bonnie and Clyde Ambush Museum in Gibsland, which offers additional context, artifacts, and exhibits related to the couple’s final days and legacy.
