Itzcoatl Misael Ocampo (March 20, 1988 – November 28, 2013) was a Mexican-American suspected serial killer and veteran assumed to be responsible for murdering at least six men, four of whom were homeless, in the Orange County, California, area from October 2011 to January 2012. Following his arrest, Ocampo was detained at the Orange County Jail, but on November 27, 2013, he ingested a large dose of Ajax, poisoning himself and losing consciousness. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died of acute intoxication the following day before he could be put on trial.
