U.S. prosecutors said two of the inmates were at California State Prison, Sacramento in Folsom — 61-year-old Ronald Yandell and 71-year-old Danny Troxell.

According to court documents, Yandell was convicted of killing Hugo Pinell and conspiring to kill Kenneth Johnson, James Mickey, Paul Diaz, Michael Trippe and Doug Maynard.

Troxell was convicted of conspiracy to kill Mickey.

A third incarcerated Aryan Brotherhood member, 55-year-old Billy Sylvester, was convicted of killing Ronald Richardson.

“Today’s convictions further our effort to dismantle a violent criminal enterprise run from inside California prisons,” said U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert. “The Aryan Brotherhood controlled its members, associates, and others both inside and outside prison walls, ordering multiple murders and running a drug trafficking operation that spanned counties and states. We will continue to use every law enforcement tool to protect the communities plagued by the violence and criminal activities of the Aryan Brotherhood.”
