Arizona Deputy Killed by ‘Original Bonnie and Clyde’ Receives Headstone 94 Years Later

In a long-overdue tribute, Arizona Deputy Lee Wright, who was killed 94 years ago by a criminal duo often referred to as the "original Bonnie and Clyde," is finally honored with a headstone. Wright’s service and sacrifice are commemorated nearly a century after his death, with a memorial service held Monday to unveil the new grave marker.

Deputy Wright was tragically shot and killed in 1929 while pursuing notorious outlaws Edna and John “Jack” Powers, a married couple who committed a string of crimes across Arizona and California. . .
