The teenage killer who lured a friend into a bathroom stall at their suburban Miami middle school 17 years ago and cut his throat has died in prison, ABC News reports.
Florida department of corrections online records show Michael Hernandez, 31, died Thursday, 29 April. He had been incarcerated at Columbia correctional institute, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of Jacksonville. No cause of death was released.
Hernandez was serving a life sentence for the February 2004 murder of Jaime Gough when they were both 14-year-old students at Southwood Middle School in Palmetto Bay, just outside Miami.
Hernandez had lured Jaime into a handicapped stall before school with a promise to show him something. He then pulled out a knife, stabbed him more than 40 times, and slit his throat. He then hid the knife in a secret compartment in his backpack and went to class.
