Inmate dies at federal prison in Victorville after altercation, officials say
An inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution in Victorville died after an altercation broke out Thursday.
David King, 69, was found unresponsive and was later pronounced dead by emergency personnel, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Authorities said a second inmate was treated for minor injuries and no one else was injured.
King is the second federal inmate to die at the medium-security prison known as FCI Victorville II this year.
In January, an inmate died more than a month after being taken to a local hospital for treatment due to “hypoxia, shortness of breath, and pneumonia,” the BOP said.
