In 1873 his mother married William Antrim, and to avoid 2 Billies in the house changed his name to Henry McCarty Antrim, and from thereon he was known as Henry. Later again Henry changed his name to William Bonney, and from thereon his friends called him "Kid". Billy the Kid was shot dead by Pat Garrett at midnight on July 14, 1881. He was either 19 or 20 years old when he died.
