What crimes did they commit?

Hausner was convicted of more than 80 crimes in 2009 and sentenced to death six times for his 14-month killing spree.

He and Dieteman terrorised the Phoenix valley between Gilbert and Tolleson by shooting at people and animals from the window of Hausner's car, USA Today reports.

The pair injured 19 people and eight died before they were arrested at their Mesa apartment in August 2006.

Where are the Phoenix Serial Shooters now?

Dieteman is serving a life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole.

Hausner was sentenced to death but committed suicide on June 19, 2013.

According to USA Today, Hausner wanted his death sentenced to be carried out and was concerned it wouldn't happen out of fear he was not mentally fit and might have his sentence reduced.

In an email to The Republic following his brother's death, Randy Hausner said the death "ends the life of a person who chose to do horrible things to innocent people".

"We as a family stand with the victims of the crimes and their families," Randy wrote.

"Today, a murderer died and is now going on to face the Ultimate Judge. Again, our thoughts and prayers are with the innocent people that were victims of his senseless crimes."

In a creepy letter a year before his death, Hausner wrote: "The state of Arizona wanted me to get the death penalty before and during my trial.

"I was found guilty and given six death sentences. Now that I want to get executed, suddenly my mental state is in question.

"So, if I am found incompetent to waive my appeals, does that mean I was also incompetent to stand trial? That's something to think about, isn't it?

"I am not insane. I am of sound mind. I simply wish to get the punishment handed down to me, but more quickly."
