He and 3 other Apaches were charged and convicted of attempted murder in the incident. While transporting The Apache Kid and four other prisoners, the guards were overpowered. With 2 guards dead and the other severely wounded, The Apache Kid fled. Although suspected of other murders, the remainder of The Apache Kid's life remains a mystery.
