John Lennon was assassinated on December 8, 1980, when he was shot by Mark David Chapman outside his apartment building in New York City. The term "murdered" can also apply, as it refers to the unlawful killing of a person. However, "assassinated" is often used to describe the targeted killing of a public figure, which fits Lennon's situation. Thus, both terms can be used, but "assassinated" is more specific to the context of his fame and influence.
