John Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980. Chapman was arrested at the scene (where he had waited for the police), and has never left state custody. He waived trial and entered a guilty plea at his arraignment.
He is serving a 20-years-to-life sentence for second-degree murder (New York did not have legal provisions for first-degree conviction) at Attica State Prison, and continues to be denied parole.
Nobody knows why for certain, but several theories suggest that he was a disturbed crazed fan, wanted fifteen minutes of fame, was hired by someone else, etc. Chapman stated in an interview that "[Lennon] walked past [him] and then [he] heard in [his] head, 'Do it, do it, do it,' over and over again, saying 'Do it, do it, do it,' like that." He said that at the time of the shooting, he felt "no emotion, no anger dead silence in the brain."
