On Wednesday, a patient-on-patient attack occurred in a dorm room around 2:15 p.m. Responders rushed the victim to the hospital’s urgent care, but doctors pronounced the patient dead around 3 p.m.
At 10:38 p.m., officers booked patient Adam Paul Cary into San Luis Obispo County Jail for murder.
Cary has several felony convictions, including an attempted rape in Riverside County in 2003. After the attempted rape, a judge deemed Cary mentally incompetent due to a mental illness, and he has served time in multiple state hospitals.
Cary is 6 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 224 pounds.
Initial reports indicated that there was a second suspect in Wednesday’s killing. Officials have made no other arrests, though.
