The character, Reed Youngblood, was he real or fictionalized? If he's a real person, does anyone know anything about him?

According to a Crime Encyclopedia I saw, his real name was Herbert Youngblood and he and Dillinger parted company after the escape. Youngblood, who was in jail for murder, was killed by the police just about two weeks after the break out.
