The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says a Crawford County jail inmate has been charged in the death of another inmate.

The KBI says 25-year-old Gavin Wood of Arma was charged with second-degree murder on Monday. Twenty-year-old Dante Martinez of Pittsburg was found suffering from severe injuries in a common area of a jail pod on Saturday. He died later at a Joplin hospital. The KBI says video surveillance shows Wood attacking Martinez.

The agency said the investigation is continuing. No further information was released.
