William Makoto Bill Doi, 65, was shot and killed during a home invasion in Monterey Park, California, on May 14, 1985. The attacker broke into the Doi residence at night; William Doi’s wife, Lillie, who had suffered a stroke and was bedridden, was also assaulted. Despite his injuries, Doi crawled to a telephone, dialed 911, and died before help arrived.

This killing was one of the crimes later attributed to Richard Ramirez, the so-called Night Stalker, whose 1984–1985 spree included multiple murders, sexual assaults, and burglaries. Ramirez was arrested on August 31, 1985, and later convicted on numerous counts including murder.

Does anyone have more information about William Doi, his life in Monterey Park, or the night of May 14, 1985?
