John was shot dead aged 40, outside his New York City apartment building the Dakota on December 8, 1980, and a new Apple TV+ documentary contains a claim from a doorman in the building he heard John’s final words.
Concierge Jay Hastings says in Apple TV+’s three-part documentary ‘Lennon: Murder Without a Trial’: “(John) runs past me. He goes, ‘I’m shot.’ He had blood coming out of his mouth. He just collapsed on the floor.
“I half rolled him to his back and took his glasses off, put them on the desk. And Yoko was screaming, ‘Get an ambulance, get an ambulance, get an ambulance’.”
Taxi driver Richard Peterson also says on the docuseries, due out on 6 December, how he was sat in his parked car outside the Dakota building and witnessed the shooting.
He says: “Lennon was walking in and this kid says, ”John Lennon.’ He was a chunky guy. I’m looking at him through the front window of my cab. I’m looking at him shoot him. This guy just shot John Lennon.
“I thought they were making a movie, but I didn’t see no lights or cameras or anything so I realised, ‘Hey, this ain’t no movie.'”
Actor Kiefer Sutherland, 56, narrates the documentary, and its makers say they were granted extensive Freedom of Information Act requests from the New York City Police Department, the Board of Parole and the District Attorney’s office.
It features interviews with John’s friends as well as the murderer defence lawyers, psychiatrists, detectives and prosecutors.
Killer was denied parole for the 12th time last year, meaning he will remain behind bars until February 2024.
