Murder of Damico Watkins

Uncommon card · No. 113104

On April 25, 1996, at the Madison Correctional Institution in Ohio, 17-year-old Damico Watkins (July 20, 1978 – April 25, 1996), an African-American inmate and juvenile offender, was attacked and murdered by a group of six white prisoners who were part of the prison's Aryan Brotherhood gang. The motive behind the attack was due to their displeasure with sharing the same prison as the African-American prisoners, coupled with their wish to be transferred to other prisons. Five of the inmates were convicted and given life sentences for the murder, while the ringleader of the attack, John Stojetz (born February 13, 1956), was found guilty of aggravated murder and sentenced to death, and he is currently scheduled to be executed on May 19, 2027.
