He was hanging w/ Teddy Roosevelt,until he pissed him off by introducing him to a man named Tom Powers. It caused bad publicity for Roosevelt. So Teddy severed all ties w/Garret.
Garret was becoming poor, he began to drink and gamble heavily. He became friends w/ a man Adamson,who was going to buy land from him.
they were going on a trip and a man named Jesse Wayne Brazel met up w/ them.
Apparently Brazel and Garret got in and argument and Brazel shot and killed Garret.
There has been speculation on who really killed Garret, he made several enemies over the last years of his life.
Brazel was tried and convicted of killing Garret.
His grave site along w/ other family members is in Las Cruces in the Masonic Cemetary

No because he wouldn't benefit from it. The governor that wants to do it is just wanting to do it so that is state can exploit Billy the Kid famous reputation to make a huge source of revenue. I believe only those that are living should be pardon for crimes if minor crimes so they have a chance to start with a clean slate and they could actually benefit from the pardon.

Supposedly after a glorious and legendary career, he went out like the hero he was - getting gunned down by Doogie Howser during a lame a$$ hold up attempt.

Though he had several jobs, he ended up being ambushed and murdered. His land was possibly the reason, but no one really knows.
