Suspected of killing child sexual abuser at Delano prison

Villanueva was found unconscious in his cell around 9 a.m. and was pronounced dead a short time later at a prison treatment center. He had been serving life in prison with the possibility of parole for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14 in Los Angeles County.

Corrections officials have restricted movement in the area where the attack occurred so they can carry out their investigation.

Escobar, the sole suspect in the murder, has also been placed in restricted housing pending the outcome of the investigation. He is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole for a deadly crime spree between Texas and California in 2018.

Last year, he pleaded guilty to killing five men and wounding seven others, nearly all of them homeless. His first victim, however, was his 65-year-old uncle, whom he bludgeoned to death with a police baton on August 24, 2018 in Houston. He strangled his aunt days later and dumped their bodies in separate trash bins.

Prosecutors said he then fled to California, where he continued the murder. Escobar began attacking people, usually while they were sleeping in the streets or on the beach, in Los Angeles and Santa Monica for about two weeks in September 2018.

All of his California victims were bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat or bolt cutter, and all but one were homeless.
