July 6, 1969 - Christopher Scarver
Scarver is remembered primarily for a single act carried out in 1994 while incarcerated at Columbia Correctional Institution in Wisconsin — the killing of fellow inmate Jeffrey Dahmer, along with another prisoner, Jesse Anderson. His notoriety rests less on any sustained pattern of violence than on the circumstances: a convicted killer ending the life of one of the most widely covered criminals of the late twentieth century, in a setting where both were already serving sentences for murder.

Scarver Sr. (born July 6, 1969) is an American convicted murderer who is known for the 1994 murders of his fellow inmates Jeffrey Dahmer and Jesse Anderson, both convicted murderers, at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Wisconsin. The three inmates were on a work detail together in the prison gymnasium, and had a confrontation while unsupervised. Scarver had concealed a metal bar that he used to beat and fatally injure Dahmer and Anderson. Scarver was convicted and sentenced to two further life sentences for these murders. He had already been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of the murder of Steve Lohman in 1990.
