LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) - A man who authorities say killed an inmate during a fight in the Calcasieu Correctional Center in July has been indicted on a charge of manslaughter.
Authorities say 41-year-old Shahron Anthony Prater is charged in the death of 35-year-old Damon Lee Jones during a “brief altercation” in the jail on July 26.
The American Press reports (https://bit.ly/1eOXZNb ) authorities initially believed Jones instigated the fight, picking up a mop bucket. After further investigation, authorities now believe Prater was the aggressor.
The incident happened on a Friday afternoon, and Jones died Saturday morning.
It was unclear whether Prater has an attorney.
