Jesse Anderson was a prisoner who was bludgeoned to death in the same incident as serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Anderson died just days after Dahmer after doctors at the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison removed him from life support.
Anderson was serving a life sentence for killing his wife, who was stabbed 21 times in August 1992. Anderson had blamed two Black men for attacking him and his wife (both White) as they left a Milwaukee restaurant.
Prison officials held 25-year-old Christopher Scarver as the sole suspect in the murders of Dahmer and Anderson. Scarver, who is Black, was being reported as being hostile toward Whites, and since both Dahmer's and Anderson's crimes affected Blacks, officials did not rule out racial retaliation.
