RENO, Nev. (AP) — Authorities say one of three incarcerated people killed in a Nevada prison brawl this week was a member of a white supremacist gang serving a life sentence for his role in a murder in another Nevada prison. The local county sheriff identified 41-year-old Anthony Williams as the third person killed in Tuesday’s fight at Nevada’s maximum security prison in rural Ely. Connor Brown of South Lake Tahoe, California, and Zacharia Luz, of Las Vegas, also died. Luz also was a member of the Aryan Warriors white supremacist prison gang. Nine other inmates were injured. Prison and state officials have released few details, but the sheriff confirmed Friday all three men died from stab wounds.
