=== Doc Holliday story ===

The Holliday theory is similar to the Earp theory, except that Holliday is alleged to have killed Ringo.<ref name=tanner>{{cite book |last1=Holliday Tanner |first1=Karen |first2= Robert K. |last2=Dearment |title=Doc Holliday: a Family Portrait |year=2001 |publisher=University of Oklahoma Press |location=Norman |isbn=978-0-8061-3320-1}}</ref> A variant, popularized in the movie ''[[Tombstone (film)|Tombstone]]'', asserts that Holliday stepped in for Earp in response to a gunfight challenge from Ringo and shot him.<ref name=ortega29may /> Records of the [[Pueblo County, Colorado]] District Court indicate that Holliday and his attorney appeared in court on July 11, 14, and 18, 1882 to answer charges of "larceny". However, a [[Capias ad respondendum|writ of capias]] was issued for him on the 11th, suggesting that he did not in fact appear in court on that date. Ringo's body was found on the 14th. Six days before Ringo's death, the ''Pueblo Daily Chieftain'' reported that Holliday was in [[Salida, Colorado]], about {{convert|670|mi}} from Turkey Creek, Arizona; and then in [[Leadville]], about {{convert|700|mi}} distant, on July 18.<ref>''Pueblo Daily Chieftain'', July 19, 1882.</ref> There was still an arrest warrant outstanding on Holliday in Arizona for his part in [[Frank Stilwell]]'s murder, making it unlikely that he would have entered Arizona at that time.<ref name=tanner />{{rp|295}}
