Baby Face Nelson, American Gangster

Lester Joseph Gillis (December 6, 1908 - November 27, 1934), AKA George Nelson, was an American gangster. "Baby Face" Nelson was born Lester M. Gillis on December 6, 1908, in Chicago, Illinois. He roamed the Chicago streets with a gang of juvenile hoodlums during his early teens. By the age of 14, he was an accomplished car thief and had been dubbed "Baby Face" by members of his gang due to his youthful appearance. His early criminal career included stealing tires, running stills, bootlegging, and armed robbery. He entered into a partnership with John Dillinger, helping him escape from prison during the famed Crown Point, Indiana Jail escape, and was later labeled along with the remaining gang members as public enemy number one. Nelson was responsible for the murder of several people, and killed more FBI agents in the line of duty than any other person - three. Nelson was fatally shot by FBI agents during a shootout called The Battle of Barrington. He was 25 years old.

Légende:
Traduction automatique: Lester Joseph Gillis (6 décembre 1908 - 27 novembre 1934), alias George Nelson, était un gangster américain. "Baby Face" Nelson est né Lester M. Gillis le 6 décembre 1908 à Chicago, dans l'Illinois. Il parcourait les rues de Chicago avec une bande de jeunes voyous au début de son adolescence. À l'âge de 14 ans, il était un voleur de voitures accompli et avait été surnommé « Baby Face » par les membres de son gang en raison de son apparence juvénile. Au début de sa carrière criminelle, il a notamment volé des pneus, utilisé des appareils photo, de la contrebande et des vols à main armée. Il a conclu un partenariat avec John Dillinger, l'aidant à s'échapper de prison lors de la célèbre évasion de Crown Point, dans l'Indiana Jail, et a ensuite été qualifié, avec les autres membres du gang, d'ennemi public numéro un. Nelson était responsable du meurtre de plusieurs personnes et a tué plus d'agents du FBI dans l'exercice de leurs fonctions que toute autre personne - trois. Nelson a été mortellement abattu par des agents du FBI lors d'une fusillade appelée La bataille de Barrington. Il avait 25 ans
