'Night Stalker,' serial killer in 1980s, dies in prison

By Patrick Garrity, Staff Writer, NBC News

Richard Ramirez, the serial killer who terrorized Southern California in the 1980s as the "Night Stalker," has died in prison while awaiting execution.

Ramirez died of natural causes at Marin General Hospital. He was 53 years old.

San Quentin State Prison spokesman Lt. Sam Robinson confirmed Ramirez's death Friday.

Ramirez was sent to San Quentin's death row in 1989 after he was convicted of 13 murders, five attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults and 14 burglaries during a yearlong spree in 1984 and 1985. Some of his victims were shot to death, others were strangled or had their throats slashed.

Reports of Satanic symbols at bloody crime scenes and a killer who stole through unlocked windows and doors at night heightened Los Angeles residents' fears. The news media dubbed him "Night Stalker."

When he was captured trying to hijack a car in East Los Angeles in 1985, angry residents surrounded Ramirez and beat him.

You know Fremont, I spend a lot of time thinking about what posts would be interesting and sometimes amusing to the people here. It's a lot of work. I try to come up with things that might make you think a little (God forbid) or maybe just get a little chuckle to get you through the day. If your just going to make snide remarks or mock the posts, guess what? I won't do it anymore. I don't need it. So think about that next time you want to poke fun.

I just want to go on record as liking stories about serial killers who die in prison of natural causes before they can be executed. I can't get enough of those.

You're just one of those people that always has to be negative.

I think there's at least an argument to be made that how can a government credibly enforce laws like don't murder people when they themselves murder people.

Are death row inmates really a huge drag on the system? Or is it drug arrests?
