A Utah man serving time in a secure juvenile facility for a murder and rape he committed when he was under 18 was charged Thursday with assaulting a fellow inmate.
Jayden Sterzer, who was 15 years old when he killed 12-year-old Kailey Vijil in 2015, was booked into Salt Lake County jail after he was charged with punching, shoving, head butting and putting another inmate in a choke hold.
Court documents allege Sterzer, who is now 19, attacked the inmate Aug. 14 after being let out of his room. He was charged Wednesday with a third-degree felony count of assault by a prisoner.
