Just 10 days after being sentenced to death for murdering two corrections officers in 2017, Georgia inmate Ricky Dubose has died in what appeared to be a suicide, the Georgia Department of Corrections said in a news release. According to the release, correctional officers found 29-year-old Dubose dead in his cell on Sunday evening. A coroner pronounced Dubose dead shortly before 6 p.m. Dubose, who was serving a lengthy sentence for armed robbery and aggravated assault, was recently found guilty of murdering two corrections officers with another inmate. He allegedly escaped from a prison bus, disarmed the officers, and fatally shot them before going on the run for several days and committing more crimes. Dubose’s attorney called the apparent suicide “extremely devastating.”
