He had allegedly forced one surviving victim to swear allegiance to Satan as he assaulted her and shot her husband.

Besides fingerprint and impression evidence from Avia's shoes, allegedly worn by Ramirez, though they could not be found, ballistics evidence showed the use of four different guns, one of which was traced to a man who said he had gotten it from Ramirez.
