One of those arrested in the Figueroa Agosto case was killed Friday morning in the La Victoria prison of in the middle of a fight which, according to the Bureau of Prisons, was caused by "personal issues".
Jos� Gabriel Arias Castillo (Alex El Pelotero) had been jailed because of a vehicle found at his house. This vehicle had been used by, the now murdered, Omar Polanco to transport drugs and high-caliber weapons.

According to prison authorities,, Arias died while receiving medical treatment after being seriously wounded by Kelvin Rafael Montilla Dom�nguez and Cristian Mart�nez Lora who were unharmed.
According to later reports, the agency intends to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the circumstances of the alleged fight, and submit the case to justice for appropriate administrative measures.
