FOLSOM An inmate at California State Prison, Sacramento, serving a 400-year sentence for child molestation was fatally slashed in the throat Thursday, prison officials said.
Shannon Lee Graling, 53, was slashed with an "inmate-made weapon" just before 8 a.m. while pushing a laundry cart, according to a prison news release. He died just over an hour later.
Prison officials said the suspect in the slashing is Steven Matthew Schultz, 28.
Schultz, a former Rocklin High School student, is serving a 26-years-to-life sentence for the July 21, 1997, strangulation of his mother.
Barbara Masako Schultz's weighted body was found floating in a water-filled rock quarry a few days after she failed to show up for work.
Graling was convicted in Santa Cruz County in 1997 of five counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child under the age of 14 and sentenced to 400 years, prison officials said.
