Richard Ramirez

Richard Ramirez, known as the "Night Stalker," was an American serial killer and rapist active in California during the mid-1980s. His crimes, which included home invasions, sexual assaults, and murders, struck fear across Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Ramirez was convicted of 13 counts of murder and other crimes and was sentenced to death in 1989. His trial attracted significant media attention, partly due to his apparent lack of remorse and his bizarre behavior in court. He died in prison in 2013 due to complications related to cancer, leaving behind a legacy of horror and infamy.
