The Ohio Highway Patrol is investigating the death of a Southern Ohio Correctional Facility inmate who was apparently attacked by another inmate last Tuesday. 

The patrol says 31-year-old Melvin Green sustained serious injuries to his head and was pronounced dead a short time later at a hospital. The death is being treated as a homicide. The name of Green's assailant has yet to be released. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction says Green was incarcerated in 2005 and was serving an eight-year sentence with a six-year gun specification for aggravated robbery and vandalism in Hamilton County and vandalism in Warren County.
