Bill Doi, a 65-year-old Japanese-American man, was killed in his Monterey Park, California, home on May 14, 1985. He had been interned during World War II and later served with the 442nd U.S. Army Regimental Combat Team. After military service he worked as a salesman for Santa Fe Trucking and was retired at the time of his death. He was a devoted grandfather to a four-year-old grandson.

On the night of May 14, 1985, Richard Ramirez broke into Doi’s home and shot him; Doi’s wife, Yuriko Lillie Kita Doi, was also assaulted during the attack. The slaying was one of the series of home invasions, assaults and murders attributed to Ramirez between 1984 and 1985.

Anyone who knew Bill Doi or has information about that May 1985 attack in Monterey Park is asked to come forward.
