Inmate death at Yuma state prison was gang related
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Arizona Department of Corrections says the death of an inmate at the state prison in Yuma was gang related.
50-year-old Jacob Major was killed last week after he was attacked by several fellow inmates.
The Department says this targeted attack does not represent a threat to the wider inmate population.
Another inmate who was killed at the Arizona State Prison in Buckeye this week was also due to gang violence, according to the Department of Corrections.
