Florence prison inmate killed in fight
A criminal investigation has been launched following a fight between two inmates that left one
inmate dead at the Arizona State Prison Complex in Florence Sunday morning, authorities said.
The complex unit was locked down after Marcelo Gonzalez, 25, died in a fight with fellow
inmate Jonathan Williams, 24, authorities said.
The inmates were in adjacent outdoor recreation enclosures, and one managed to fit himself
through a small opening at the bottom fencing that separated the two spaces, authorities said.
The men were in the same enclosure when Arizona Department of Corrections officers responded
to the incident -- Gonzalez was found lying face-down. Williams told officers he had
acted in self-defense, authorities said.
