Today in History - April 22, 1934 - Gangster Kills FBI Agent

Today in the year of 1934, Gangster George 'Baby Face' Nelson killed FBI agent W. Carter Baum during a raid. George Nelson was born Lester Gillis, and retained his 'baby face' as he retained his youthful look. In 1929, Nelson joined Al Capone's gang, and was later kicked out of the gang because of his unpredictable violent behavior.
   After living many years in criminal behavior, he ended up in Illinois where he was spotted while driving. He ended up in a gunfight with two FBI agents, and he shot and killed them. The next day Nelson's body was found in a ditch. He had been on the run since he killed FBI agent Baum, months prior to this.
