Charlize Theron

Hollywood actress Charlize Theron for a long time assured that her father died in a traffic accident, but after some time still told the truth. One day her father Charles came home drunk and began to threaten that he would shoot his wife and daughter. The mother of the artist had to shoot him first, as the man began to use physical force. Charlize claims to be proud of her mom, but also does not hide - she had to work through this trauma with a psychologist for a long time. The woman was not arrested, as the court considered her actions as self-defense.

Michael Jordan

The father of the famous American basketball player Michael Jordan James was deprived of his life by two teenagers - Larry Demery and Daniel Green. While a relative of the athlete slept in the car, the minors stole the vehicle, and the owner himself was shot. After that, the killers wanted to hide the traces of the crime and threw the body into the river. The body was found 11 days later by fishermen.

Jennifer Hudson

October 25, 2008 in the family of American actress and singer Jennifer Hudson tragedy happened. The ex-husband of her own sister committed a triple murder, shooting her mother - 57-year-old actress Darnell Donnerson, brother - 29-year-old Jason Hudson and nephew - 7-year-old Julian King. The incident happened at her home in Chicago. The little boy was found two days later in the trunk of a car.

Dave Navarro

American guitarist best known as a member of rock bands Jane's Addiction and the Red Hot Chili Peppers Dave Navarro lost his mother at the age of 16. Constance was shot and killed by her boyfriend, who was not arrested until eight years later. According to the musician, that day he wanted to go to his mother, but at the last minute changed his mind and stayed with his father.

Julian and Sean Lennon

Julian and Sean Lennon are the children of legendary Beatles singer John Lennon. Their father was shot and killed on December 8, 1980 by Mark Chapman at the entrance to the building "Dakota", where the musician lived with his wife Yoko Ono. The motives for the crime were Chapman's desire to become famous and his dissatisfaction with the Brit's lifestyle. The killer received a life sentence.
