After the award-winning success of People v. O.J. Simpson on FX, the network has announced its next installment of Ryan Murphy's American Crime Story: the murder of Gianni Versace. Revisit the crime scene to get yourself prepared for the next season.
On July 15 1997, Versace was killed on the steps of his iconic Miami Beach mansion. He was 50 years old.
The famed designer was killed instantly, with two shots twice to the head.
The murderer, 27-year-old Andrew Cunanan, had been an active serial killer at the time, slaying a total of five victims three months prior to Versace.
Eight days later, Cunanan committed suicide aboard a houseboat as the Miami Dade police force moved in to capture him.
Authorities never discovered the reason behind Versace's killing. "I don't know that we are ever going to know the answers," said Miami Beach Police Chief Richard Barreto.
The fashion icon's death left family and fans in utter shock. Versace was later honored in a star-studded funeral and laid to rest in Milan, Italy.
