Synopsis
The Capeman is based on the true story of Salvador Agron, a teenage Puerto Rican gang member who grew up in New York. The name and face of Salvador Agron were sprawled across the newspaper headlines in 1959 when he was convicted of the slaying of two teenage boys and sentenced to death at age 16. He was known as "The Capeman" because of the black cape he wore as a member of the youth gang The Vampires.
