Richard Ramirez passed away on the morning of Friday, June 7, 2013, at the age of 53. In the final moments of his illness, his skin turned green and he showed signs of severe jaundice. His last meal was chicken cacciatore, served to him at Marin General Hospital.

‘’I was touched by Satan tonight, Mama,’’ he said. ‘’He came to me.’’

The detectives went to Burbank to interview Carol, Richard Ramírez’ former victim who survived the attack from the man who invaded her home and body on May 30th. She said he wore all black, was extremely vicious, and smelled like “wet leather”. She described him as a “good-looking light-skinned Mexican with some kind of accent”, which she couldn’t put her finger on. - The Night Stalker by Philip Carlo

while ramirez was on deathrow, he asked a fellow inmate “where are the woman?” when he caught a glimpse of the female prisoners walking by, he flashed that same two-fingered devil sign their way. the women yelled out “killer” in response. this caused ramirez to smile.

ramirez laughed a lot and joked with his attorneys, even cackling loudly during crucial testimony. once he laughed loudly during a young widow’s testimony and caused several spectators to cry as she tearfully described how her assailant had raped and beaten her while her slain husband lay nearby. sometimes, ramirez sneered openly at the prosecution.
