Battling Siki was once one of the four or five most recognizable black men in the world, and was written about in detail by such figures as Ring Lardner and his son John, Damon Runyon, and Westbrook Pegler. On the evening of December 15, 1925, at the age of 28, he was shot and killed in Hell's Kitchen in what some claimed was a gangland execution.
