They were convicted in a jury trial of first-degree murder and conspiracy charges, and sentenced to life imprisonment. Based on his evidence, four men were arrested in connection with the case. In 1974, a worker at the warehouse where the Death Angels were based testified to police for a reward, providing private details about the murders. Criminology professor Anthony Walsh wrote in a 2005 article that the "San Francisco–based Death Angels may have killed more people in the early- to mid-1970s than all the other serial killers operating during that period combined." Some authorities believe that the Death Angels, as the perpetrators called themselves, may have killed as many as 73 or more victims since 1970. Police gave the case the name "Zebra" after the special police radio band they assigned to the investigation. The "Zebra" murders were a string of racially motivated murders and related attacks committed by a group of four black serial killers in San Francisco, California, United States, from October 1973 to April 1974 they killed at least 15 people and wounded eight others.
