John Lennon’s murder is arguably the most famous example. It happened in the blink of an eye, shocking the entire world. His killer’s motives include religious indignation and a desire for fame. Other musicians were also killed by their fans. Christina Grimmie won The Voice and became a star before being murdered by an obsessed fan. Selena tried to stop the leader of her fan club from embezzling money from her store but was killed for it. Dimebag Darrell of Pantera was killed during a show after a fan had a mental breakdown.
TV and film icons also suffered the same fate. Rebecca Shaefer of My Sister Sam was met with a gunshot outside of her home after a fan didn’t get enough of a response to his letters. Even sports stars can’t escape these fates. Albert Ebosee was hit by a projectile after accidentally scoring a goal for the other team (or at least that’s the current explanation). Andres Escobar became the victim of a cartel after his team was tied up in their scheme.
The newspapers romanticized the outlaw Jesse James until one of his own gang members, who also admired him, killed him for the reward money. Russian writer Mikhail Lermontov couldn’t control his mouth and end up in a duel with his best friend and biggest fan. Rebecca's death lead to anti-stalking laws and prevented anyone from getting addresses from the DMV again. Andres’ family now runs a program to keep children away from drugs and theft.
