According to a press release from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, on Monday, Silverdale inmate Charles Levada Shelton, 31, died from apparent complications from COVID-19 at a local hospital.
Because this is considered an in-custody death, the Hamilton County District Attorney’s Office has requested the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division to conduct an investigation.
Records show that Shelton had been jailed after being charged in the 2016 death of Bianca Horton. He was most recently charged with possession of a prohibited weapon and having contraband in a penal institution.
