Chester Turner, once described by Los Angeles prosecutors as one of the city’s most notorious serial killers, has been charged with another heinous crime. Recently, authorities in Utah announced that Turner is facing an aggravated murder charge for the killing of 22-year-old Itisha Camp back in the late 1990s. This revelation has sent shockwaves through communities still haunted by his previous crimes.
Turner is currently on death row at the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, convicted of murdering 14 women in the 1980s and 1990s along the Figueroa Corridor—a region infamously known for its connection to sex work and drug-related violence. The gruesome details of his past crimes, which often included rape and strangulation, have left a lasting impact on the victims' families and the community at large.
As the investigation into Camp's murder continues, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill expressed hope that the recent charges would provide some closure for Camp’s family. He emphasized the importance of the work done by cold case investigators who tirelessly pursued justice for Camp and her loved ones.
