Following a mistrial in 2018, a Gage County man has been convicted in a second trial of first-degree murder in the killing of a fellow inmate during a 2017 Nebraska state prison riot. 33-year-old Eric Ramos faces life in prison when he’s sentenced in February.
A jury found Ramos guilty this week of killing 31-year-old Michael Galindo — one of two inmates slain during the riot at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution. Galindo was found dead in his cell on March 2nd, 2017, following an uprising by prisoners, and investigators said he had been severely beaten and stabbed 130 times.
An autopsy determined Galindo died of smoke inhalation from a fire when other inmates set towels on fire and pushed them through a broken window in Galindo’s cell.
