In what has been described as an incredibly rare incident, an inmate on death row in a prison in California has killed another inmate, also on death row. The 30-year-old victim, Jonathan Fajardo, was stabbed in the chest and neck with an inmate-made weapon, marking the first death of an inmate on death row in the state in over 20 years.
According to CBS News, the incident took place at San Quentin State Prison, which is California's oldest prison having opened in 1852, and houses close to 5,000 inmates. The suspect has been identified as 34-year-old Luis Rodriguez, an inmate who has been in the prison for over a decade.
