Craig Price (murderer)

Craig Chandler Price (born October 11, 1973) is an American serial killer who committed his crimes in Warwick, Rhode Island between the ages of 13 and 15.

[2] Rhode Island residents formed the group Citizens Opposed to the Release of Craig Price to lobby for his continued imprisonment, due to the brutality of his crimes and the opinion of state psychologists that he was a poor candidate for rehabilitation.

[5] During his incarceration, Price has been charged with additional crimes, including criminal contempt for refusing a psychological evaluation,[4] extortion for threatening a corrections officer, assault, and violation of probation for fights while in prison.

According to law-enforcement officials, Price had no remorse when confessing to the crimes,[2] and as for the motive, Price himself claimed racism by white people beginning when he was a young child was a factor and that the first time he wanted someone to die was when a group of white adults allegedly shouted racial slurs at him and tried to run him over with their car when he was a young boy.

[10] On April 4, 2017, Price was accused of stabbing fellow inmate Joshua Davis at the Suwannee Correctional Institution in Live Oak, Florida with a 5-inch homemade knife.
