Damien McClain was killed during a fight in a prison cell a little after midnight Wednesday, authorities confirm. Today Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents arrested Daniel Ferguson and charged him with murder for McClain’s death, said agent James Harris.

Georgia Department of Corrections officials have been mum on how Stubbs died.
