LANCASTER - Officials from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and California State Prison-Los Angeles County (CSP-LAC) are investigating the December 4, 2011, death of a 46-year-old inmate as a homicide. The inmate, whose name is being withheld pending notification of his next of kin, was received from Los Angeles County on Jan. 11, 2010, and was serving an eight-year sentence for second-degree robbery. The inmate had served prison terms from Los Angeles County for possession of a controlled substance in 1990, arson in 1993 and assault with a deadly weapon in 1997. The deceased inmate's 44-year-old cellmate has been identified as a suspect in the case.
