Died in prison
Darrell Leshunn Williams

Donaldson Correctional Facility for a serious illness when he was found on the afternoon of November 17, 2025, and he was pronounced dead ten minutes later. Department of Corrections records described his death as caused by natural disease. Because the person he had listed as his emergency contact had died, the coroner had to search for his family.
Cause of death, as reported: Died of illness. ADOC records cited by WBMA attribute the death to significant natural disease, and he was being treated in the infirmary when found.
