Two inmates killed in armed fight inside Alabama prison
Two Alabama prison inmates were killed Thursday during a fight inside Elemore Correctional Facility.
The Alabama Department of Corrections on Friday confirmed the killings and identified the slain inmates as Damon Lamar Calhoun, 35, and Londell Ramone Nunn Jr., 34.
A third inmate involved in the Elmore Correctional Facility altercation – 20-year-old Deion Lamar Booth – was not injured.
ADOC spokeswoman Kelly Betts said Calhoun and Nunn were severely injured during the fight – which involved an undisclosed weapon – and were taken to the Health Care Unit.
Medical staff immediately began life-saving measures without success, Betts said.
Their bodies have been taken to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for autopsy.
Calhoun was serving an 18-year sentence for third-degree burglary out of Mobile County.
Nunn was serving a 10-year sentence for first-degree robbery out of Morgan County.
Booth is serving a 20-year sentence for first-degree assault out of Escambia County.
The investigation is ongoing by ADOC’s Law Enforcement Services Division.
