Two inmates at Folsom State Prison are suspected of killing another inmate during an alleged attack last week, corrections officials said.
According to the , inmate Brian J. Diguez was attacked by two other inmates in the prison's dayroom around 6:30 p.m. Friday. Officials said prison staff were able to quickly quell the incident and initiated life-saving measures on Diguez.
The 34-year-old was taken to the prison's triage and treatment area. Diguez was pronounced deceased by the Folsom Fire Department at 7:09 p.m.
Corrections officials said Diguez was received from Los Angeles County on July 25, 2016. Diguez was serving a 21-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter with an enhancement of Street Gang Act in commission of a serious felony.
Officers were able to recover two weapons made by inmates from the scene.
Two inmates, identified as 48-year-old Boris Bonilla and 32-year-old Carlos J. Duran, were moved to restricted housing pending investigation.
Bonilla was received from Los Angeles County on May 17, 2012 and is serving a sentence of life with the possibility of parole for first-degree murder with multiple enhancements, corrections officials said. Duran was received from Santa Clara County on Feb. 3, 2022 and was sentenced to two years for a parole violation for vehicle theft with prior vehicle theft convictions.
