The convicted serial killer committed at least 13 murders in 1984 and 1985, terrorising the Southern California region.

The convicted serial killer known as the Night Stalker has died while awaiting execution, according to officials in California.

Richard Ramirez, 53, died on Friday morning, San Quentin State Prison spokesman Lieutenant Sam Robinson said.

He had been taken from the jail's death row to Marin General Hospital. The Department of Corrections said he died of liver failure.

Ramirez was on death row for decades and it has been years since anyone has been put to death in the state.

He was convicted of 13 murders that terrorised Southern California in 1984 and 1985, and was sentenced to death.

Most of his victims were shot, but others were strangled or had their throats slashed.

Spray-painted satanic symbols were found at some of the murder scenes and some victims were forced by the killer to "swear to Satan".

Police believe he entered his victims' homes through unlocked windows and doors.

Ramirez was captured and beaten in 1985 by residents of an East Los Angeles neighbourhood while attempting a carjacking.

At his first court appearance, he raised a hand with a pentagram drawn on it and shouted, "Hail, Satan."

Ramirez was sentenced to death in 1989 after a four-year trial. He also was convicted of sexual assaults and burglaries.

In 2006, the California Supreme Court upheld Ramirez's convictions and death sentence.

In 2009, DNA evidence linked him to the unsolved 1984 murder of nine-year-old Mei Leung, who was sexually assaulted and killed in her family's San Francisco home.

Ramirez had been living nearby at the time, police said.

'He looked like a highlighter pen': Night Stalker serial killer who terrorized California with a spree of satanic murders turns bright green as he dies after 24 years on death row

Self-described Satanist Richard Ramirez, 53, had shockingly green skin the day before he died
Ramirez was convicted in 1989 of 13 murders and later tied to several more and had spent decades at San Quentin prison on California's death row
His trial was a horror show in which jurors heard about one victim's eyes being gouged out and another's head being nearly severed
He earned the nickname Night Stalker


Richard Ramirez, who spent 24 years in prison after a spree of demonic murders in California, died Friday, but not before turning a shocking shade of green.
The serial killer, who left satanic signs at murder scenes and mutilated victims' bodies during a reign of terror in the 1980s, died reportedly after 'sitting up in his bed doing stretches' just the day before at Marin County Hospital.
Ramirez, 53, had been taken from San Quentin's death row to a hospital where authorities said he died of liver failure.

This, according to a source at the New York Post.
The source said the self-proclaimed Satanist exhibited the ghastly-hued skin Thursday and was up and moving around his hospital bed.
'He was the color green,' said the Post's source. 'He looked like a green highlighter pen.'

He had been housed on death row for decades and was awaiting execution, even though it has been years since anyone has been put to death in California. He was convicted in 1989 of 13 murders, five attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults and 14 burglaries, which terrorized Southern California in 1984 and 1985. His charges included rape, sodomy and oral copulation.
Though he died of liver failure, the exact cause of the ailment has not been released due to federal patient privacy laws.
