White Supremacists Stab Fellow Inmate to Death in Beaumont Prison

BEAUMONT, Texas – A heinous crime has shaken the U.S. Penitentiary in Beaumont, Texas, as two federal inmates, Christopher Cramer and Ricky Fackrell, have been indicted for the murder of fellow inmate Leo Johns.

According to the indictment, Cramer, 33, and Fackrell, 32, both from Utah, conspired to murder Johns, a fellow inmate and member of the white supremacy group, Soldiers of the Aryan Culture, in March 2014. Their sinister plan was carried out on June 9, 2014, when they stabbed Johns to death inside the federal prison.

Following a thorough investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Prisons-SIS, the indictment was returned by a federal grand jury. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys John Craft and Joseph R. Batte.

Both defendants could face severe punishment if convicted, including the death penalty or up to life in federal prison. However, it is essential to note that a grand jury indictment is not evidence of guilt, and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

The brutal murder of Leo Johns has sent shockwaves through the prison community, highlighting the dark underbelly of white supremacy groups that operate within the walls of correctional facilities.

As the investigation unfolds, Grimy Times will continue to provide updates on this disturbing case. In the meantime, the community is left to wonder how such a heinous crime could occur within the confines of a federal prison.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office has assured the public that this case will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and justice will be served for the victim and his loved ones.
