32 years old · died November 9, 2020 · Mitchell County Jail, Mitchell County, Texas

William Cleveland, 32, died on November 9, 2020. A news report said he died by suicide while held at the Mitchell County Detention Center in Mitchell County, Texas. A later Texas Office of the Attorney General custodial death report, published March 26, 2021, lists his death at the Wallace Unit, a Texas Department of Criminal Justice prison in the same county, and gives no cause of death. The two sources disagree about which facility held him, and that discrepancy remains unresolved.

Cause of death, as reported: Died by suicide. The news report lists the cause as suicide, and the Texas Attorney General custodial death report gives no cause.
