SVSP Inmate Convicted of 1st Degree Attempted Murder of a Peace Officer

 

SALINAS, California- Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced on October 17

that a jury convicted inmate Oussama Sahibi of attempted murder of a peace officer for stabbing a

lieutenant at Salinas Valley State Prison.

On April 11, 2023, around 8:30 pm, Sahibi went to a CDCR lieutenant’s office and asked him to

reconsider a ruling earlier that morning punishing him for using a controlled substance in violation

of prison rules. The lieutenant explained the formal process to appeal the ruling and told Sahibi to

leave.

When Sahibi turned his back, the lieutenant noticed he had one of his hands in his waistband.

Believing Sahibi was reaching for a weapon, he pushed Sahibi from behind to create distance. Less

than a second later, Sahibi turned on him with a nine-inch inmate manufactured dagger in his hand

and stabbed the lieutenant in the ear, back, shoulder, and side. Moments later, other officers

responded and restrained Sahibi.

Sahibi was convicted of first-degree attempted murder of a peace officer, assault by a life prisoner,

assault with a deadly weapon, and custodial possession of a weapon. Furthermore, the court found

Sahibi had multiple prior strike convictions, including murder, attempted murder, assault with a

firearm, and assault on a peace officer.

Sahibi will be sentenced by Judge Stephanie Hulsey on November 15, 2024. He faces up to life in

state prison.

This case was investigated by District Attorney Investigator Erik Morris.
