Multiple stab wounds to 38-year-old David Moreno by two attackers.
In the recent FOX news report, two inmates at California’s Tehachapi maximum-security jail stabbed and killed David Moreno, 38, on Wednesday. The State Department of Corrections said the event happened just before 9 a.m. Moreno died less than an hour after the attack, even though help arrived quickly and he was taken to the hospital. Chemical weapons were used by guards to quickly stop the attack.
Police took three guns that prisoners had made and put Carlos Cervantes and Armando Taylor in restricted housing while the death of Moreno was being investigated.
When David Moreno, 38, got locked up in 2004, he was given a life sentence with the chance of getting out. He was found guilty in Los Angeles of using a gun twice to try to kill someone. In 2015, he got three more years for hitting someone who wasn’t in jail.
The 39-year-old Cervantes came to the jail from Kern County in 2018 to serve a life sentence without the chance of parole for two killings involving guns. To get more time in 2020, he had to make a dangerous tool and attack another prisoner. The latest killing horror in the jail is more complicated by these past events.
A murder case put Taylor, 41, in jail from Imperial County in 2017 to serve a life term with the chance of release. He spent more time in jail for attacks that happened in 2020 and 2022, according to the police.
