The Doodler, also known as the Black Doodler, is an unidentified serial killer believed responsible for 14 murders and three assaults of men in the gay community of San Francisco, California, between January 1974 and September 1975.

The nickname was given due to the perpetrator's habit of sketching his victims prior to their sexual encounters and slayings by stabbing.

The perpetrator met his victims at gay nightclubs, bars and restaurants

Never heard of this one. The Wikipedia article is strange because it mentions that he is called the Doodler because he’d sketch the victims before killing them, but doesn’t explain how LE know this. Did he leave the sketches with the bodies? Did the people who last saw the victims notice a man sketching them? Or did the mysterious suspect have a bunch of sketches of the victims? Weird.
