John Dillinger, American bank robber and gangster (June 22, 1903 - July 22, 1934) was born John Herbert Dillinger at 2053 Cooper Street (now Caroline Avenue), Indianapolis, Indiana. In 1934, he was shot and killed by FBI agents as he left Chicago's Biograph Movie Theater at 2433 N. Lincoln Avenue
Chicago, Illinois after watching the film Manhattan Melodrama starring Clark Gable and Myrna Loy, betrayed by the "Lady in Red" Ana Cumpanas, the owner of the brothel where Dillinger had sought refuge at the time. Dillinger was the first criminal labeled by the FBI as "Public Enemy No. 1." John Herbert Dillinger came up in the Depression-era United States. After spending nine years (1924-1933) in prison, Dillinger went on a deadly crime spree in the states of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa with a group of men known as the Dillinger Gang or Terror Gang, which was accused of robbing 24 banks and four police stations, among other activities. Dillinger escaped from jail twice. He was also charged with, but never convicted of, the murder of an East Chicago, Indiana, police officer who shot Dillinger in his bullet-proof vest during a shootout, prompting him to return fire; despite his infamy, it was Dillinger's only homicide charge. He courted publicity and the media of his time ran exaggerated accounts of his bravado and colorful personality, styling him as a Robin Hood figure. In response, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover developed a more sophisticated Bureau as a weapon against organized crime, using Dillinger and his gang as his campaign platform. After evading police in four states for almost a year, Dillinger was wounded and returned to his father's home to recover. He returned to Chicago in July 1934 and met his end at the hands of police and federal agents who were informed of his whereabouts by Ana Cumpanas, known thereafter as "The Lady In Red". On July 22, 1934, the police and the Division of Investigation closed in on the Biograph Theater. Federal agents, led by Melvin Purvis and Samuel P. Cowley, moved to arrest Dillinger as he exited the theater. He drew a Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket and attempted to flee, but was killed. This was ruled as a justifiable homicide.
