Edward Bergman, 53, and Mario Rushing, 46, died Monday in separate, suspected homicides at California State Prison, Sacramento.
SAN DIEGO - Two inmates serving life sentences for San Diego County murders were killed behind bars this week on the same day at the same prison, according to state corrections officials.
On Sunday, Bergman was found unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead just after midnight Monday. His official cause of death was not released, but another inmate, 27-year-old Taylor Cervantes was identified as the suspect in Bergman's killing and prison officials said an"inmate-manufactured weapon was recovered at the scene."
At about 6 p.m. Monday, state prison officials say Rushing was seen choking another inmate. CDCR says Rushing ignored commands to stop and"chemical agents and less-lethal measures" were deployed, to no effect. Rushing was sentenced in 1996 to a life sentence for first-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter with an enhancement of terminate pregnancy and arson of structure or forest fire.
