Lonnie David Franklin, Jr. (August 30, 1952 – March 28, 2020),
better known by the nickname Grim Sleeper, was an American serial
killer who was responsible for at least ten murders and one attempted
murder in Los Angeles, California. He was also convicted for rape and sexual
violence. Franklin earned his nickname when he appeared to have taken a
14-year break from his crimes, from 1988 to 2002.
In
July 2010, Franklin was arrested as a suspect, and, after many delays, his
trial began in February 2016. On May 5, 2016, the jury convicted him of killing
nine women and one teenage girl. On June 6, 2016, the jury recommended the death
penalty, and on August 10, 2016, the Los Angeles Superior Court sentenced
him to death for each of the ten victims named in the verdict. On March
28, 2020, he was found unresponsive in his cell at San Quentin State Prison and pronounced
dead.
