Died in jail or a lockup
Rafael Reyes
Rafael Reyes, listed as 54 in one news report, died while held at the Downtown El Paso County Jail in El Paso, Texas. A Yahoo report published August 22, 2025 gives the date of death as March 7, 2025, and says the death was ruled a suicide, without naming who made that ruling. The Texas Office of the Attorney General's custodial death report lists a death at the El Paso County Jail on March 9, 2025, and gives no cause or manner, so the date and the cause are disputed between these accounts.
Cause of death, as reported: Died by suicide. One record gives the cause as suicide but does not name who ruled it, and the Texas Attorney General custodial death report does not state a cause.
