Victor Martinez-Hernandez, 24, was found guilty this year in the rape and murder of Rachel Morin, 37, on a hiking trail in Bel Air, Maryland, in August 2023.
He assaulted her, bludgeoned her head with rocks and strangled her before hiding her body in a drainage culvert, the court heard.
The killer was also linked to a 2023 home invasion in Los Angeles and is wanted in El Salvador for the murder of another woman, according to prosecutors.
He showed little emotion as he learned his fate on Monday.
