The attack occurred while correctional officials were escorting the men in a golf cart. Fleming allegedly manipulated his way out of hand restraints and used an improvised weapon to attack Ortega before guards intervened. In a subsequent incident, 39-year-old Carlos Montenegro was killed during an attack in a housing unit's upper tier. Inmates Justin Castro and Luis Mendoza allegedly ignored verbal commands from guards, prompting staff to fire five less-lethal 40mm rounds to stop the assault.
