Did Pat Garrett kill Billy the Kid?

Dear Mr. Duke,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We suggest that you contact New Mexico’s State Records Center and Archives to check if there are any territorial records created about Pat Garrett and/or Billy the Kid.  We also searched online and located a number of websites discussing this topic. There are references to various conflicting opinions by historians and biographers on this topic.

We hope this is helpful.
