July 24, 1967 - Cleophus Prince Jr.
Prince operated in San Diego County during the early 1990s, targeting women in their homes in a series of burglary-homicides that generated sustained fear across the region before his arrest. His convictions on six counts of first-degree murder, along with rape, resulted in a death sentence in 1993 — a case that became a significant chapter in California's history of serial crime investigations.
