On the evening of 8 December 1980, English musician John Lennon, formerly of the Beatles, was shot and fatally wounded by an obsessed fan outside of the Dakota, his residence in New York City. 

John Lennon and Yoko Ono returned to the Dakota Apartments at approximately 10:50 p.m.
As Lennon passed by, he glanced briefly at Chapman, appearing to recognize him from earlier. Seconds later, Chapman drew his gun, which was concealed in his coat pocket, aimed at the center of Lennon's back, and rapidly fired five hollow-point bullets from a distance of about nine or ten feet.

John Lennon was declared dead one hour later in the Roosevelt Hospital in New York. He was 40 years old.
