Here are:
Jesse James: Outlaw killed by Bob Ford in 1882
Ian Gow: Conservative member of the British Parliament killed by a car bomb in 1990
Franz Ferdinand: Archduke and heir to the Austrian throne killed by Gavrilo Princip in 1914

Rajiv Gandhi: Prime Minister of India killed by an unidentified bomber in 1991
Ernesto “Che” Guevara: Revolutionary killed by Bolivian forces in 1967

And hundreds more!
