Investigation Launched into Death of Inmate at Shasta County Jail

The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office’s (SCSO) Major Crimes Unit is actively investigating the death of an inmate inside the Shasta County Jail, marking the second such incident within a week.

On Wednesday, February 21, just before 4 p.m., correctional deputies at the Shasta County Jail were alerted by fellow inmates about an unresponsive inmate in his cell. The inmate has been identified as Jedidiah Clinton Peltier, a 45-year-old resident of Redding.

Despite prompt action and life-saving measures taken by deputies, medical staff, and emergency medical personnel, Peltier was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

The circumstances surrounding Peltier’s death are currently under investigation by the SCSO Major Crimes Unit and the Detective Division of the Redding Police Department. This joint effort is focused on unraveling the cause and details leading to this tragic event.

This unfortunate incident follows another inmate death at the Shasta County Jail during the same week, as confirmed by the SCSO.

Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding Peltier’s death or any suspicious activities within the jail to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation. The SCSO is committed to ensuring transparency and seeking justice for the deceased inmate and his family.

As the community awaits further updates on the investigation, the SCSO continues to uphold its duty to maintain the safety and well-being of all individuals within the Shasta County Jail.
