"The Capeman", was a Puerto Rican gang member who murdered two teenagers in a Hell's Kitchen park in 1959.

[1] Agron's relationship with his stepfather was difficult, and he asked his mother to send him back to Puerto Rico to live with his father.

In 1958 he became a member of teenage street gang the Mau Maus from the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn.

The two victims were Anthony Krzesinski and Robert Young, Jr.[1] The murders made headlines in New York and the city went into an uproar.

While many New Yorkers were outraged about the killings, others like former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and Robert Young, the father of one of the victims, campaigned for leniency.

[2] In December 1976, Governor Hugh Carey reduced Agron's sentence, making him eligible for release in 1977.

In April 1977, Agron took flight and absconded to Phoenix, where he was captured two weeks later and brought back to New York.

A television movie based on his life was proposed and he set up a fund for the families of his victims with the money he received.
