He was the crown-prince of the Austrian-Hungarian empire. He and his wife (who his parents didn't like BTW) were travelling through one of the cities.
Anyway, I think they took a wrong turn and the driver of the car they were in (an open top vehicle) went down an alley. At the end of an alley was a man who was supposed to murder the crown prince but thought he had missed his chance. So he shot both the prince and his wife, then the shooter took cyanide and killed himself.
And yes, this shooting was what started WWI
Here is a link that tells of his life and his murder

I believe it was in Austria, not sure which city. If I'm not mistaken his wife was also murdered. That act started World War I.
