A male inmate killed a female corrections officer at a prison in west central Texas early Saturday, authorities said.
Mari Johnson, 55, was found unresponsive about 3 a.m. near the kitchen area of the Robertson Unit, a prison in Abilene, Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark said. Life-saving measures were initiated and Johnson then was taken to Hendricks Medical Center in Abilene where she was pronounced dead, he said.
The name of the inmate and circumstances surrounding the killing were not immediately released. Clark said the agency’s Office of Inspector General was investigating and that no additional details would be released yet.
