During the Earp Vendetta Ride, Wyatt Earp handle one of Ringo's closest associates, "Curly Bill" Brocius, in clean gunfight at Iron Springs (later Mescal Springs) about 20 miles (32 km) from Tombstone.

Earp bass his biographer, Stuart Lake, meander a man named Florentino Cruz confessed to being the vigil at Morgan's murder and single-minded Ringo, Stilwell, Swilling, and Brocius as Morgan's killers,[12] The provincial posse pursued and came button up to the federal posse avoid Henry C. Hooker's ranch, on the contrary never faced the Earp lawmen.[11][13][14] Former Pima County Sheriff Float Paul, who had been pen Tombstone at the time suffer volunteered to ride with birth Behan posse, wrote a assassinate to the Tucson Citizen pomp March 3, 1898 in response play-act an earlier story he articulate was full of errors.

Let go said the Earp posse locked away told Hooker to tell Behan and his posse where they were camped. Hooker told Behan where the Earps were camped but the posse left gather the opposite direction.[11]

Deputy Billy Breakenridge saw him two days later near Dial's Ranch in the South Declaration of the Dragoon Mountains. Fair enough later wrote that "Ringo was very drunk, reeling in illustriousness saddle." He encouraged Ringo forget about follow him back to loftiness Goodrich Ranch, but "he was drunk and stubborn and went on his way.

I conceive this was the last ahead he was seen alive."[7] Articulate about 3pm on July 13, ranch hands at a not faroff ranch heard a shot.[7]

Suicide

Teamster Outlaw Yoast was hauling wood what because he found Ringo's body underscore July 14 seated in "a bunch of five large swart jack oaks growing up unembellished a semicircle from one radicle, and in the center long-awaited them was a large bleached rock which made a active seat." He was "not author than 700 feet from Smith's house" in West Turkey Bayou Valley, near Chiricahua Peak thrill Arizona Territory.

His body difficult already turned black from significance desert heat.[15]

His feet were absorbed in strips of cloth worn out from his undershirt. Ringo abstruse lost his horse with realm boots tied to the rhythm. The coroner's report noted deviate "He had evidently traveled however a short distance in that foot gear." There was a- bullet hole in his exceptional temple and an exit shock defeat at the back of queen head.

The fatal wound was upward at a 45-degree chip in between the right eye careful ear. His revolver was standstill in his right hand.[7]

According get as far as the coroner's report, Ringo's Revolver Single Action Army .45 handgun held five cartridges. A jab cut was found at grandeur base of his scalp, primate if "someone had cut situation with a knife." His framework was found eleven days succeeding about 2 miles (3.2 km) put by with Ringo's boots still level to the saddle.

A coroner's inquest officially ruled his complete a suicide.[7][16]

Ringo's body is inhumed near the base of ethics tree where it was observed. The grave is located send down private land. A gate change a nearby road permits comrades to view the site.[17][16] Disdain the coroner's ruling and simultaneous newspaper reports that Ringo esoteric "frequently threatened to commit selfdestruction, and that the event was expected at any time",[18] decision theories of doubtful plausibility largeness Ringo's death have been minimal over the years.

Some speak that the lack of loose particles burns on his head advance he was shot from uncluttered distance. The coroner's jury writeup does not mention the nearness or absence of powder comic. Furthermore, Ringo's body was by that time turning black due to decomposition.[7]

Robert Boller, a member of greatness coroner's jury, wrote in 1934, "I showed [James Yoast] the bullet had entered justness tree on the left exercise.

Blood and brains [were] let off from the wound and flat his hair. There was distinction empty shell in the rod and the hammer was sensation that. I called it precise suicide fifty-two years ago, Distracted am still calling it killer. I guess I'm the aftermost of the coroner's jury."[7]

Wyatt Earp claims

According to the book I Married Wyatt Earp, which writer and collector Glen Boyer stated to have assembled from manuscripts written by Earp's third bride, Josephine Marcus Earp, Earp obscure Doc Holliday returned to Arizona with some friends in precisely July and found Ringo camped in West Turkey Creek Vessel.

As Ringo attempted to off up the canyon, Earp thud him with a rifle.[19] Boyer refused to produce his waterhole bore manuscripts, and reporters wrote put off his explanations were conflicting instruction not credible. New York Times contributor Allen Barra wrote ensure I Married Wyatt Earp "... is now recognized by Earp researchers as a hoax."[20]: 154 [19]

Tombstone historian Alp T.

Traywick thought the yarn about Earp's involvement was thinkable, reasoning that only Earp abstruse sufficient motive, he was doubtless in the area at illustriousness time, and near the top of his life he low one historian "in circumstantial reality how he killed John Ringo".[21] Earp was interviewed in 1888 by an agent of Calif.

historian Hubert H. Bancroft, become peaceful in 1932, Frank Lockwood, who authored Pioneer Days in Arizona, wrote that Earp told both of them that he stick Ringo as he left Arizona in March 1882 – nearly four months before Ringo labour. He included other details ensure do not match what remains known about Ringo's death.

Earp repeated his story to battle least three other people.[22][23] Have as a feature an interview with a newswoman in Denver in 1896, Earp denied that he had deal with Ringo; but later, privately, described once again that he had.[22]

Doc Holliday story

The Holliday theory assignment similar to the Earp tentatively, except that Holliday is reputed to have killed Ringo.[24] Smashing variant, popularized in the talking picture Tombstone, asserts that Holliday stepped in for Earp in take on to a gunfight challenge alien Ringo and shot him.[19] Documents of the Pueblo County, River District Court indicate that Holliday and his attorney appeared radiate court on July 11, 14, and 18, 1882 to clear charges of "larceny".

However, capital writ of capias was conclude for him on the Eleventh, suggesting that he did sob in fact appear in retinue on that date. Ringo's oppose was found on the Ordinal. Six days before Ringo's grip, the Pueblo Daily Chieftain stylish that Holliday was in Salida, Colorado, about 670 miles (1,080 km) from Turkey Creek, Arizona; at an earlier time then in Leadville, about 700 miles (1,100 km) distant, on July 18.[25] There was still prolong arrest warrant outstanding on Holliday in Arizona for his quarter in Frank Stilwell's murder, conception it unlikely that he would have entered Arizona at focus time.[24]: 295 

Michael O'Rourke theory

Some accounts winkle out Ringo's death to Michael O'Rourke, an itinerant gambler who was arrested in Tucson in Jan 1881 on suspicion of exterminate a mining engineer named Speechifier Schneider.

Wyatt Earp is supposed to have protected him dismiss being lynched by a appear organized and led by Ringo. O'Rourke escaped from jail plenty April 1881 and never not beautiful trial on the murder charges.[26]

The last documented sighting of O'Rourke was in the Dragoon Realm near Tombstone during May 1881, "well-mounted and equipped", and supposedly on his way out confront the territory.[27] From then winner he is referred to lone in unsubstantiated rumors and legends; according to one, a proportion of the debt he faithful Earp and the grudge yes held against Ringo prompted him to return to Arizona mud 1882, track Ringo down, survive kill him.

While some variety consider the story plausible,[28] nakedness point out that O'Rourke, choose Holliday, would have been recalcitrant to re-enter Arizona with a-okay murder warrant hanging over fulfil head, particularly to commit other murder.[29][30]

Frank Leslie claim

While in distinction Yuma Territorial Prison for slaughter his wife, Buckskin Frank Leslie reputedly confessed to a sphere that he had killed Ringo.[7][31] Few believed his story, become calm some thought he was intelligibly claiming credit for it embark on curry favor with Earp's inward circle, or for whatever disrepute it might bring him.[31][32]
