Salvador Agron (April 24, 1943 – April 22, 1986), a.k.a. "The Capeman", was a Puerto Rican gang member who murdered two teenagers in a Hell's Kitchen park in 1959. Agron mistook the teenagers for members of a rival gang called the Norsemen, who were expected to show up for a street fight. Agron is the subject of the musical The Capeman by Paul Simon.
