Killing of Georgie (Part I & II) (Rod Stewart)

 

"Out of a darkened side street came
A New Jersey gang with just one aim
To roll some innocent passer-by
There ensued a fearful fight
Screams rang out in the night
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone"

Johnny Too Bad: The Slickers (from, in my opinion, the best reggae album of all time and one of the best albums period).

Wedding List (Kate Bush)
 
"All of the headlines said 'Passion Crime"
'Newly weds Groom Shot Dead
'Mystery Man.' God help the bride
She's a widow, all in red
With his red still wet. She said--"
I'll put him on the wedding list

Me and a Gun (Tori Amos)

 

From Wikipedia, quoting an interview with Tori Amos in Hot Press: "' How am I alive to tell you this tale when he was ready to slice me up? In the song I say it was 'Me and a Gun' but it wasn't a gun. It was a knife he had. And the idea was to take me to his friends and cut me up, and he kept telling me that, for hours. And if he hadn't needed more drugs I would have been just one more news report, where you see the parents grieving for their daughter.'"
