An inmate died on Friday, Feb. 21 after an assault by another inmate in a holding cell at the Intake Release Center in Santa Ana occurred on Feb. 5, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
The victim, Juan Vasquez Pulido, 38, was transported to a hospital and put in a medically induced coma. Pulido died Friday.
On Feb. 5, Pulido was in a holding cell waiting to be moved into housing after the Anaheim Police Department arrested him on suspicion of drug related offenses. Another inmate also in the holding cell, 23-year-old Irving Josue Morales, assaulted Pudlio in the cell, according to the OCSD. Pudlio was found by deputies, unconscious, and transported to the hospital.
Morales has been charged with attempted murder, though prosecutors may consider further charges, as a result of Pulido’s death.
The Orange County District Attorney’s Office will be investigating the in-custody death and the OCSD will be conducting an in-custody death review.
