Died in prison
Armando Morales
Armando Morales died on August 28, 2012, while held alone in the Security Housing Unit at California State Prison, Corcoran, in Kings County, California. The Kings County Coroner's office classified the death as a suicide by hanging, saying he was found in his cell with a shoelace and a blanket around his neck. A man held in the same unit wrote that gang investigators were pressuring Morales to debrief about his gang at the time of his death, a claim the coroner's account does not address.
