March 6, 1961 - Ramon Salcido
Over the course of a single day in April 1989, Salcido killed seven people across two California cities, targeting his own family alongside a coworker's relatives — crimes that included three young children, one of whom survived despite her injuries. The case became one of the most closely followed capital cases in California, in part because of the domestic intimacy of the violence and the near-miraculous survival of his daughter Angela, who was found alive in a garbage dump days later.
From Wikipedia
Ramón Bojórquez Salcido (born March 6, 1961) is a Mexican convicted murderer who is currently on death row in San Quentin State Prison. He was convicted for a spree killing that took place on the night of April 14, 1989, in Sonoma County, California, in which he murdered six female family members, including his wife and two of their daughters, and a male co-worker.
In the late 2000s and early 2010s, the murders were the subject of several documentaries. The surviving daughter, Carmina Salcido, authored the 2009 memoir "Not Lost Forever" about the killings and her later life.
