SAN QUENTIN, Calif. (KTLA) — Richard Ramirez, the convicted rapist and serial killer known as the Night Stalker, died Friday morning. Ramirez, who terrorized Southern California in 1984 and ’85 with a series of murders and rapes, died at Marin General Hospital of natural causes, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Satanic symbols were left at murder scenes by Ramirez, who entered homes through unlocked windows and doors. He was captured Aug. 31, 1985, after being identified and severely beaten by an angry mob in East Los Angeles as he was trying to steal a car. Police had to break up the mob to prevent them from possibly killing Ramirez. He was convicted Sept. 20, 1989, of killing 13 people and was awaiting execution on death row. Ramirez was 53 years old.
