Three inmates suspected of killing another in Kern Valley State Prison

Three CDCR inmates are accused of attacking and killing a 24-year-old Los Angeles man at Kern Valley State Prison last month, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Officials say three inmates allegedly attacked Inmate Dwight Gibbs, 24, at about 8:06 p.m. on June 28. Correctional officers quickly broke up the attack, but Gibbs was treated for his injuries and transported to a local hospital, where he died about one hour later. Additionally, officers found three inmate-manufactured weapons at the scene of the attack.

The three suspected attackers — 55-year-old Michael Brown, 63-year-old Jerry Dunham and 61-year-old Rex Dickey — were each placed in restricted housing. Their fates will await completion of a homicide investigation.
