Richard Ramirez – B-cell lymphoma
Richard Ramirez became infamous as a serial killer and was infamously called “Night Stalker,” “Walk-in Killer,” or “Valley Intruder” after killing around 13 people between the years 1984 and 1985.
Although most of Ramirez’s early crimes in the late ’70s and early ’80s were mostly because of theft and drug possession, it soon escalated into gruesome violence. For months, Ramirez would stalk and murder both men and women in California, making people feel scared and fear for their lives. In 1989, he was convicted of 13 murders and other heinous crimes; eventually, Ramirez died in his cell from complications of lymphatic disease.
