So we all know, that everyone in Death Note has a lifespan and one day,
they'll die when their lifespan runs out. But doesn't that mean, that the
victims who get killed by a serial killer are destined to being killed by him?
Or are their deaths destined the moment a serial killer decides to kill them?

question
death-note
Can a person die before their lifespan ends?


There's their regular lifespan which is when they are going to die for
whatever reason like serial killer, or bus accident (this reflects in their
lifespan). BUT they can be killed before their time using the deathnote, which
then sends the the difference in lifespan to the shinigami to extend their
life.

The people can be killed before their lifespan ends using Death Note. The
lifespan of a person is decided by fate and doesn't keep on changing, like
when a serial killer decides to kill that person, his lifespan changes. No,
the lifespan is already decided, so if the lifespan is already short the
serial killer succeeds; if it isn't, the serial killer fails. Also, if a
Shinigami writes someone's name which in turn increases the lifespan of
others, that Shinigami dies. Humans don't have this problem while using Death
Note.
