It's really sad. The poor guy was Raymond J Bowman, just 21 years old. Sadly he was killed by a sniper as the city was surrendering, hence the title of the image. This and the image from the Omaha Beach Landing craft are two of the best Capa images in my opinion. They really bring home how cold and brutal war is.
