Oregon man serving 2 life terms in shooting deaths of roommates dies in custody Updated Feb 05, 2021; Facebook Share By Staff and wire reports The Oregon Department of Corrections said 25-year-old Mitchell Julio Morris, who had been incarcerated at Snake River Correctional Institution near Ontario, died in an infirmary. The corrections agency does not release the cause or manner of inmate deaths. But it is unlikely Morris died from COVID-19 because the state released his name and typically does not identify inmates who succumb to the coronavirus. Morris was convicted in 2017 of two counts of aggravated murder in the February 2016 deaths of 18-year-old Bailee Ray Southwick and 21-year-old Mackenzie Lyman in Crooked River Ranch.
