On this date in 1934, Lester Gillis, better known as George "Baby Face" Nelson (and don't even think about calling him "Baby Face" to his baby face) died after being shot by FBI agents. Nelson was shot 17 times in a gun battle that also left FBI Inspector Samuel Cowley and Special Agent Herman Hollis dead. Nelson's body was later found in a ditch, wrapped in a blanket.
