Morris Solomon Jr.
American serial killer
Morris Solomon Jr. (March 15, 1944 – August 1, 2024), known as The Sacramento Slayer, was an American convicted serial killer on death row in San Quentin, California for the murders of six women.
Early life
Solomon was born on March 15, 1944. Relatives and friends described Solomon's upbringing in rural Georgia as abusive. He was raised primarily by his grandmother, Bertha, who beat him and his brother daily for infractions such as bed wetting, mispronouncing words, or crying during a beating. Sometimes, she hit them for no apparent reason.
When Solomon was very young, Bertha beat him by laying him over her lap and hitting him repeatedly. She made him remove all his clothing and stand on a stool in the corner, where she beat his bare body, including his genitalia, with an electrical cord or switches she made him bring to her. Bertha sometimes beat him until he bled. Once, she tied his hands around the pole of a bed with an extension cord to keep him from backing away from her during a beating.

Why this record matters
“Morris Solomon Jr.” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Morris, Solomon and American provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q24924897. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1944 and 2024.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
