SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- San Francisco police said the infamous serial killer known as the "Night Stalker" is a suspect in a 1984 San Francisco homicide of a nine-year old girl.
Richard Ramirez, who is now on death row at San Quentin State Prison, was identified by cold case detectives Thursday as a suspect in the killing of Mei Leung.
The girl was sexually assaulted and killed in the basement of her family's Tenderloin neighborhood home.
Police said a DNA match identified Ramirez as the suspect.
Ramirez is being held in San Quentin after being convicted in 1989 in Los Angeles of 13 murders committed in Southern California.
The 49-year-old remains on Death Row at San Quentin State Prison as his appeals work through the court.
