SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Officials say a 53-year-old man convicted of multiple murders and rape in the ’90s has died in prison after 21 years there.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports the Oregon Department of Corrections said Monday that Sebastian Shaw died in Oregon State Penitentiary custody Saturday. Shaw entered prison in 2000 after a conviction in Multnomah County.

He was also convicted of raping a Portland woman in 1995. Shaw also had been named the primary suspect in the unsolved 1994 killing of 14-year-old Jenny Lin from Alameda County in California.
