    Mark Isaac Snarr - Federal Death Row


    Mark Isaac Snarr


    Summary of Offense:

    In Texas, on May 24, 2010, two Beaumont federal penitentiary inmates were sentenced to death for the 2007 slaying of Gabriel Rhone. Mark Isaac Snarr and Edgar Baltazar Garcia repeatedly stabbed Rhone, 31, outside his cell, located in the prison's maximum-security Special Housing Unit. Both claimed they killed Rhone out of imminent fear for their lives because he threatened them within 48 hours of his death. The men also attacked two prison guards during the November 28, 2007 murder in an attempt to snag keys to Rhone's cell, according to court testimony. Rhone, who was stabbed more than 50 times with a shank, died of wounds to his heart and liver, an autopsy found.
