An inmate is dead after a homicide at Wasco State Prison.

State prison officials say 34-year-old Angel Carrasco died at an outside medical facility after being attacked Friday afternoon.

Guards arrested 37-year-old Jose Castro and 32-year-old Darnell Rodas in connection to the assault.

Two improvised weapons were recovered at the scene.

No other injuries were reported.

Carrasco was transferred to Wasco from Tulare County in 2009 after being sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for first-degree murder.
