Richard Ramirez, a serial killer awaiting execution on California’s death row at San Quentin State Prison, best known as ‘The Night Stalker’ is now a suspect in the murder of a 9 year-old girl named Mei Leung. Richard was convicted and sentenced to death in 1989 for 13 murders committed in 1984 and 1985 in Southern California.
On Wednesday, they took a DNA sample of Ramirez to compare to DNA obtained at the crime scene. They report the DNA matched. Leung was a 9 year old from Tenderloin, San Francisco.Mei Leung marks Ramirez’s first death. Until now, the June 28 1984 death of Jennie Vincow of Los Angeles’ Glassell park was believed to be the first in his serial terror.
Mei Leung was found murdered in the basement of a residential hotel at 765 O’Farrell St., where she lived with her family, after walking home with her 8-year-old brother from a friend’s house back in 1984 (it is possibly Richard’s first murder). This cold case was taken out of shelve due to new DNA evidence that linked Richard to the crime scene.
