Versace was gunned down at his South Florida mansion on July 15, 1997 by Cunanan, who was already on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives after killing five men in three months prior to shooting Versace.
‘This particular manhunt is the largest failed FBI manhunt in history,’ said the actor who plays Cunanan in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming FX miniseries, Darren Criss. ‘The truth is, fear and prejudice is always in fashion.’
Edgar Ramirez, who stars as the late Italian fashion icon in the miniseries, said the detailed program will help viewers ‘understand how [Versace’s murder] could’ve been avoided.’
Executive producer Brad Simpson said the story of Cunanan ‘is a journey through the politics of homosexuality as they play out across America in the 1990s.’
