A 19-year-old California inmate was murdered at High Desert State Prison Friday during a violent altercation with two inmates.
Christopher Dolan, 30, and Michael Ellison, 39, have slaughtered Michael Hastey during an exercise in the prison yard on Feb. 18.
It is believed that the two assailants had fabricated weapons used in the deadly attack: “Officers immediately responded by using chemical agents and batons to quell the incident.”
“Responding staff transported Hastey to the prison medical facility where health care staff performed life-saving measures. Hastey was pronounced deceased at 12:05 p.m.”
Hastey was sentenced to life with parole for stabbing dead Nathan Purdue in January 2019 amid a jealous rage.
