How did Gianni Versace die?

Gianni Versace was shot and killed on July 15, 1997, on the front steps of his Miami Beach, Florida, home, after returning from a morning walk. The murderer turned out to be Andrew Cunanan, who had killed four men in previous months. Police found Cunanan’s body with a self-inflicted gunshot wound eight days later in a nearby boathouse.
