Azahlia Corral
Azahlia Gisel Corral died while held at the El Paso County Jail in Texas, according to the Texas Office of the Attorney General's custodial death report, which lists the date as March 6, 2021. A later KTEP report says she was 22 and died by suicide at the jail's East Side Annex in February 2021, so the two accounts differ on the date and place. Her family is suing El Paso County in federal court for civil rights violations, and her attorney has said her death reflects broader problems in Texas jails.
