A 20 year old man has died after being beaten to death by fellow inmates at the Mountainview Youth Correctional Facility in Annandale, NJ.



Chief of detectives for the Hunterdon County Prosecutor’s Office, Dan Hurley, states around10:45 p.m. officers in the correctional facility responded to a disturbance in one of the pods, and that’s when they found the body of Carl Epps, laying unconscious on the floor. He was transported immediately to Hunterdon Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

According to the state Department of Corrections website, Epps, a Egg Harbor resident, had just started serving a three-year sentence at the facility, for robbery.

The State Police Crime Scene Unit processed the scene and detectives are still interviewing all of the inmates housed in the unit. A joint investigation between detectives from the State Police and Prosecutor’s major crimes units and the Department of Corrections Special Investigations Department is being conducted to determine what went down and exactly who and how many inmates participated in the attack.
