Belle Starr died after being shot in the back by an unknown killer. As a resident of Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma), Starr came under the jurisdiction of Judge Isaac C. Parker in Fort Smith (Sebastian County). Her reputation as an outlaw, as well as the novelty of her being a woman and her violent, mysterious death, led to her being called “The Bandit Queen.”
