Former San Francisco councilman, not mayor. he and the mayor, George Moscone, were shot and killed in 1978 by Dan White. Milk was the first openly gay person on council.

Mayor of SF....was shot and killed. One other guy was shot too.
Person who killed him( I have forgotten his name).....claimed to have been high on twinkies or something when he killed him......the now infamous "Twinkie" defense.
Only in SF!...LOL
Edit: Okay...perhaps we hasn't the mayor....but I was close!
