CANON CITY, Colo.—An inmate serving time for kidnapping and sexual assault convictions has been killed at a Colorado prison in Canon City.
Authorities say 50-year-old Ronald Ferguson died Wednesday. They haven’t said how he was killed.
He was serving a 25-year term after a 1996 convicted in Arapahoe County.
Investigators say inmate Kevin Lust was arrested in the death and has been transferred to another state prison. It’s not clear what charges he might face or whether he has a lawyer.
Katherine Sanguinetti (sang-win-ED’-ee), a spokeswoman for the state Department of Corrections, says the 50-year-old suspect was convicted in a fatal shooting in Oregon 16 years ago.
He was transferred to Colorado under an interstate agreement.
Authorities say Lust has been disciplined previously on allegations of fighting and making a threat.
