How did he bring him down? All he saw was the color of the car and a parcial license plate. That didn’t bring him down it was the people from the East La area who caught this bastard.
Sir Romero, if you read this... I can't imagine the pressure a 13- year old who testifies against a serial killer had to go through...but still you're a hero. You saved so many lives and hundred of families from despair and sadness. Thank you very much. You really changed the world to a better place
he has small and narrow eyes, and if anything his eyes would be even smaller if he weighted more while committing his crimes. It just doesn't look like him. The long face, the hair, the nose, the thin lips, and the big round eyes. literally nothing like him. I'm still wondering how they didn't remember his face.
@@dearlolly2293 You obviously don't know what drugs do. Richard was a coke user. It makes your eyes open up large and wide. It also takes away your appetite. Chances are he was high on cocaine while he committed crimes. That would explain him being thinner and having his eye wide-open.
@Billy Tresco problem is though he wouldn't necessarily knock on your door pretending to be a fugitive as in btk or just enter your house like ramirez. You would have to go with him. I find the other two more scary because they will take you and your family out at the same time specially btk.
Dude when he sneak in to his another victim he shot the husband but it didn't go well then the husband awake and chase the hell out of him and that ugly killer run like a goat fast as he can lol
Yes you‘ve got a point on that but he is not the most scariest. If you compare him to the other serial killers he is one of the harmless ones. The others gave me so much chills it’s not even normal
nah,thats becoz he did some crimes like stealing and hes a high boy on drugs and atheist. they said he was just chilling in a restaurant at that time and saw his photo in newspaper or tv news im.not sure of that but ofcourse because of his some minor crimes he knew they come after him but who knows he killed people even later dna showed he is proved but then theres something might been gone wrong with the law system or what, even set up.
The people caught that monster, not the police!!. Well done citizens of east LA and that 13 year old boy...all deserve a medal cause you had courage and balls to take on a serial killer!!!! Props to you!! 👍🥇👏
In this cruel world, anyone can be afraid of death. But some can be courageous like James Romero, who faced Richard Ramirez for the sake of his parent's lives. Respect.
Since he caught him while he was outside, he got nervous and ran away, but if that would have happened inside the house, it would have been a different story.
they glossed over this on the Netflix documentary. they basically said he saw the car driving around suspiciously and took the info. they left out he was trying to break into his house.
Thank you James for being a wonderful hero. Without the information you gave , Richard would have most certainly posed to be more elusive and would have skipped right out of the hands of law enforcement. Right on !!

In the moment was probably scary but even worse when he got more details about him and how close he came to death. I would think OMG had I been asleep my family and I would be dead.
Such a hero! He was probably afraid of telling the detectives for fear of Ramirez hunting him, but this young man was so brave and courageous, at only 13 yrs. old!
that is absolutely crazy. i live in LA and as i drive to work on the morning i look at alll the houses and just think how accessible they were just by standing there on the ground and how scary it is to think that man just went into those houses w no care just to satisfy himself... it’s disgusting. But by him staying up later he saved his whole family. he could have a completely different narrative so i’m thankful for this
I wish the man who caught Jeffrey Dahmer would’ve been treated like a hero too & given society’s support. He was ignored and he descended into PTSD and addiction because of the trauma of that encounter.
@Heywood Jablowme If it was a shit time and he has issues, he would have sold the 3 wheeler. Kid was 13 and the only thing he did was notify people of a suspicious person LOL. He probably gets dissablity money or something. Smart move.
Agreed! I don’t know why nobody is asking the simple question of why the authorities would think it is a good idea, whilst the night stalker is still free, to publicise who this kid is.
You would think a person who went through so much abuse, and did such heinous and gruesome acts, breaking and entering, murdering and pretty much every crime would just look at the kid and go after him especially since he had a weapon and iirc wasnt against killing children but instead he ran. I really dont understand that. Why would he run instead of go after the kid.
Because richard wasn't born a natural killer the influence of the people around him made him like that and i think richard was there just for stealing his purpose is not to kill like other psycopaths
Diane Feinsteins press conference in that clip may have cost more victims their lives. She tipped Ramirez off that they knew his shoes were practically one of a kind and he disposed of them and his gun because of it.
@@truereality6186 because his run in with yup mouth, and his tip to police, subsequently led to his car being fingerprinted, which led to his identification BEFORE he got beat up in East Los.
You won’t believe how weak are the so called serial killers when they come in direct and face to face with normal people.. they won’t even stand in front of a kid.. they just select a weak vulnerable victim and take the victim from the back or shoot.. if you put any serial killer in direct fair confrontation with a normal man he’ll be ashamed. Thinking that their act has anything to do with bravery or admiring them is utterly ignorance. They’re a disgrace and that’s the worst thing a man does.
Fact is he also probably saved his parent's lives.
