Last Friday, a routine cell check at the Clark County Detention Center turned deadly when corrections officers found an inmate unresponsive from blunt force injuries. Despite immediate aid, the inmate was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Chad Ollinger, 41, the other inmate in the cell, has been rebooked on an open murder charge in connection with the incident. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Homicide detectives are leading a full investigation into the events that caused the fatal altercation.
The Clark County Coroner’s Office has not yet released the identity of an inmate who died after a fight with Ollinger at the Clark County Detention Center. Details about the fight and its cause are still under investigation. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Section is reviewing the incident, and the Coroner will provide the victim’s identity, cause, and manner of death once confirmed.
