The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said officers at the state prison located in Folsom were doing a security check around 6:15 a.m. when they found Jake T. Kennedy in his cell with multiple stab wounds.
Officers said they restrained and removed Kennedy's cellmate, Tyler L. Yates, who remains in restricted housing pending the investigation.
Kennedy and Yates were identified as inmates who allegedly attacked 39-year-old Jonathan D. Rude in the main exercise yard of the prison last month. Rude died and two suspected improvised weapons were found at the scene.
Yates, 30, was received from San Diego County in 2017 after he was sentenced to eight years for first-degree burglary and assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury as a second striker. He was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole for murder as a second striker.
Earlier this week, five inmates were hospitalized at the prison after a riot involving approximately 40 inmates broke out in the main yard. Correctional officers said 11 improvised weapons were recovered.
