Gianni Versace was a world-renowned fashion designer who was murdered on July 15, 1997, at his home in Miami Beach. He was shot twice in the back of the head by Andrew Cunanan, a serial killer who was already the target of a nationwide manhunt by the FBI for killing at least four other men across the country. Investigators still dont know why Cunanan killed Versace. At the time of his death, Versace was one of the most high-profile fashion designers in the world, dressing the likes of Princess Diana, Madonna, and Elton John. His murder shocked the nation and left a hole in the fashion world. Cunanan apparently shot himself to death on a boat house, about two miles away from Versaces house in Miami Beach, eight days after the designers death, ending the high-profile manhunt that followed the global news coverage of Versaces murder.
