MAN (ON TV): Dan Rather from CBS News Headquarters in New York.

RATHER: Good evening. Fashion designer Gianni Versace was m*rder*d today, gunned down outside his mansion in Miami Beach, Florida.

Versace was a fashion icon.

(VOLUME INCREASES):
His empire spanned the worlds of the famous and perhaps the infamous.

Investigators are probing whether he was targeted by organized crime or perhaps a serial k*ller.

Our CBS News coverage of the death of the designer begins at the scene of the crime, with CBS News correspondent Jim Axelrod.

AXELROD: The blood on the steps of the most famous house in Miami Beach belonged to one of its most famous residents, designer Gianni Versace, m*rder*d this morning.

I saw Gianni Versace laying face down on his steps with his head blown off, with his face sh*t off.

- (LOUD POP)
- Oh! (LAUGHS)

MAN: execution-style, sh*t in the head right on his steps...

NEWSWOMAN (ON TV): The death of this famous idol and icon reverberates greatly through this small community where Versace was a popular presence.

Police are now confirming the suspect is a young man, Andrew Cunanan.

An eyewitness describes Cunanan approached Versace

- and fired two sh*ts...
- Oh, my God.

at point blank range.

Mr. Versace collapsed immediately.

- The suspect then...
- Oh, my God.

NEWSMAN (ON TV): Police named alleged serial k*ller Andrew Cunanan as their only suspect in the execution-style m*rder of world-famous fashion designer Gianni Versace.

OFFICER: Cunanan is known to be a male prost*tute who services affluent clientele.

Cunanan is well-educated, well-dressed and is very articulate.

Cunanan should be considered extremely dangerous and armed at this time.

NEWSMAN: Andrew Cunanan is already wanted in connection with four murders.

He was recently added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.

Police did not specify whether Versace knew his alleged k*ller.
