Soledad, CA...On October 29, 2016, at approximately 9:40 a.m., an inmate was attacked by two inmates on the B Facility recreation yard with an inmate-manufactured weapon. Custody staff used pepper spray blast grenades to stop the attack. Medical staff immediately performed lifesaving measures on the inmate victim. The inmate was taken to a community hospital; however, he succumbed to his injuries and passed away at 10:39 a.m.

Two inmates have been identified as suspects. Brant Daniel, 42, is serving life with the possibility of parole for a first-degree attempted-murder conviction from Sacramento County and has been in state prison since December 13, 2015. Leonard Dunning, 57, is serving life with the possibility of parole for a second-degree murder conviction from Los Angeles County and has been in state prison since April 7, 1994. He is also serving a four-year conviction from Imperial County imposed in 2009 for battery on a non-prisoner.
