A 25-Year-Old Dies in Cameron County Jail on 10/21/23-3
Twenty-five-year-old Jacqueline Barosio was incarcerated in Cameron County Jail in Olmito, Texas, from June 1, 2023, until the day she was pronounced deceased on October 21, 2023. Her cause of death is unknown. However, the custodial death report (CDR) indicates that the “decedent” caused the death. The results of a toxicology report are awaited. These things seem to suggest that jailers suspect that Ms. Barosio obtained illicit drugs. The summary of how her death occurred is only four sentences long. It indicates that Ms. Barosio was discovered unconscious in her single cell. The Texas Department of Public Safety Ranger Division is leading the investigation into her death.
