"Put on the spot."
Popular term for someone marked for death or who was killed. I've heard the term from the 30s up through the 40s.
Good one. I have seen that one in many old newspapers, I don't know if it was a street term too, but it was very common back then. I have an old story saved where they use it to mention a shooting-killing from 1931.
