Serial killed Ramon Escobar is suspected of slaying his North Kern State Prison cellmate, Juan Villanueva, in Delano, CA, authorities said.
Convicted serial killer Ramon Escobar is suspected of killing his new cellmate Friday at a central California prison, authorities said.
Villanueva, 53, was found unresponsive shortly before 9 a.m. and despite lifesaving efforts was pronounced dead a short time later at a prison treatment facility, the agency said. Escobar is suspected of killing Villanueva and has been placed in restricted housing pending an investigation, the agency said.
Escobar was serving a life sentence without chance of parole after pleading guilty last year to killing five men and injuring seven others. He also pleaded guilty to killing his aunt and uncle in Houston, Texas, in 2018.
