California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) officials are investigating an attack on a peace officer at California State Prison, Corcoran (COR) as an attempted homicide.
On Sept. 3, 2024, at approximately 4:10 p.m., inmate Bobby Dominguez allegedly reached through the bars of a shower door and attacked a correctional officer.
Staff immediately responded to assist the officer from the area, medical personnel were summoned and 911 was activated. The officer was transported at 4:43 p.m. to an outside medical facility where he was treated and was released that evening.
An inmate-manufactured weapon was found at the scene.
Dominguez was subsequently transferred to California Health Care Facility. CDCR officials are currently investigating the incident. The case will be referred to the Kings County District Attorney’s Office for possible felony prosecution.
Dominguez, 30, was most recently assigned to CDCR from Monterey County on June 20, 2023, sentenced to six years for assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer as a second striker.
Dominguez was initially received from Los Angeles County on Apr. 11, 2014, sentenced to four years for inflicting corporal injury on a cohabitant. While incarcerated he was sentenced on June 23, 2016, to five years for an in-prison offense of assault with a deadly weapon or force to cause great bodily injury by an incarcerated person. In addition, he was sentenced on June 21, 2017, to one year for an in-prison offense of battery on a non-prisoner.
