Mark David Chapman was a bit of a psycho so he asked for his autograph and shot him in the stomach in front of his apartment in NYC. John Winston Ono Lennon was killed by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980. Nobody really knows for sure, there are several reasons told though. One being that Mark wanted to be known as the guy who killed the Beatle leader. Or, he thought John wasn't really John, but an imposter, or, he thought HE was John. John Lennon was killed in front of his New York apartment by Mark David Chapman.

Mark David Chapman (John's killer) doesn't have any good reasons or excuses. I've heard he said he wanted his fame or voices were telling him to.
