ABC 7 reported the killing took place on December 17 at Antelope Valley Hospital.
According to investigators, two men were sharing a room in
the Covid-19 unit when the attacker grabbed an oxygen tank and beat an 82-year-old man to death.
The victim died the day after the attack.
"[The victim] was housed in a two-person room inside the hospital with the suspect, who was also there receiving treatment," a sheriff's department statement said.
