Wednesday, July 24, 2024-Notorious Los Angeles drug lord, Ezequiel 'Wicked' Romo, has been stabbed to death by three inmates while serving life for eight murders.
Ezequiel Romo, 47, was serving a life
sentence without the possibility of parole at Centinela State Prison in
Imperial County when officers saw three other inmates attack him inside a
dayroom at the prison Sunday night, according to the California Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
They gave verbal orders telling the
assailants to stop but had to use four applications of pepper spray to end the
attack, authorities said.
Romo sustained multiple stab wounds and was
taken to a medical facility at the prison, where he was pronounced dead nearly
two hours later, according to prison officials. He had been transferred to the
prison on Aug. 30 of last year.
The three men suspected of killing
him are Cristian Moreno, 31; Johnny S. Garcia, 39, and Christian O. Hernandez,
41. They all came to the prison from Los Angeles County. Moreno was the only
one of the inmates not serving a life sentence for first-degree murder.
Last year, Romo was convicted of murder,
attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit murder following a monthslong trial
in LA County, during which witnesses testified he ordered killings of rivals
and even followers, according to the Los Angeles Times.
