(KRON) -- An Oakland pimp who was convicted of sex trafficking minors in 2019 was found dead in his prison cell over the weekend, prison officials said. Inmate Darius J. Swaim, 41, of Oakland, was pronounced deceased by paramedics in Kern Valley State Prison on November 9. His cellmate's clothing was covered in blood, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation officials said. The CDCR is investigating Swaim's death as a homicide, and his cellmate, 58-year-old Gregory Clark, is the prime suspect. Clark will remain locked up in restricted housing while KVSP’s Investigative Services Unit probes the killing. A Kern County coroner will determine Swaim's official cause of death. Gregory Clark's 2020 prison inmate mugshot was released by CDCR. Swaim had been incarcerated in the prison since March of 2019. He was sentenced by an Alameda County judge to serve life in prison with possibility of parole for human trafficking of a minor, pimping, pandering, and robbery. His victims included a 15-year-old girl who ran away from her Fresno home and was forced to work as a prostitute in Oakland. Child molester killed in San Quentin prison Clark has been locked in Kern Valley State Prison since March of 2011, and he is serving a 22-year sentence for domestic violence crimes. He was also sentenced to serve an additional two years for assaulting a fellow inmate in 2021.
