Jon Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre. He shot him in the head with a .44 caliber pistol. He was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth(an actor at the Ford Theatre) and died April 15, 1865 in the Petersen House.
Booth was tracked down by Union soldiers and was shot and killed by Sergeant Boston Corbett on April 26, 1865. Booth apparently believed that killing Lincoln would radically change U.S. policy toward the South. Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William H. Seward were targeted in the same plot.
