4 Charged In Overdose Death Of Actor Michael K. Williams

Seriously fuck fentanyl. We had Naloxone inservice training from the pharmacy some years back at work. Coworker lost a friend to a fentanyl-laced OD prior to that. We lost a friend of the family dating back to childhood this past Sept. Heroin was his drug of choice, and addiction dating back nearly 30 years. Fentanyl took him out at the end.
 
39 and still on the block going hand to hand!
Just sell weight!

Back when I started hustling when I was like 15, I got a 3.5 of weed and broke it down to £10s, a week later I'm copping a straight Z, two weeks later 4.5Zs (125grams). When I was up to 1/2 a box my man said to me "Don't ever think your too big for the little people, always keep those who only buy a 10 or 20. How you gonna sell a box or 1/2 box if you can only cop a Z?" Wise words were shared with me that day. Even if you keep them on a separate line and get a worker, you keep the little people, occasionally you have to put your face on show, just so they know you still check for them.

Cartagena like fat Joe

I instantly thought about the fat boy too.

The photos of him copping from TMZ :smh: :

OMARS COMIN', OMARS COMIN!


All out in the open. Damn Omar.
Screenshot doesn't even look like where he lived. So he was heading back to his old stomping grounds to cop. Not thinking times changed and he should be moving differently.

I don't understand why he didn't. How are you going to walk around trusting everybody's dope? Especially on the street.

And why was he buying dope on the street in the first place? Why not send somebody and avoid the scandal?

The only good thing about drugs being illegal is that it teaches discretion. He must have skipped that class.
Do you bring others into your vices?

He should have had trusted dealers who deliver to him where he is at his convenience, yeah it might cost extra but your paying for their discretion, your safety and security, or you have your junkie buddy score that for you and you give him 1 or 2 shots and tell him bounce!

Bruh was on some any place any time type a shit. He'd climb in an elephants ass to cop

Update: March 2 at 1:30 p.m.: All four men charged in relation to Michael K. Williams’s death pleaded not guilty during their arraignment in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday. The indictment charges each man with one count of narcotics conspiracy resulting in death.

Original story follows.

Manhattan authorities arrested four men on Wednesday in connection with the fatal overdose of Michael K. Williams. The actor, 54, was found dead in his apartment after overdosing on heroin-laced fentanyl on September 6, 2021. Irvin Cartagena, 39, Hector Robles, 57, Luis Cruz, 56, and Carlos Macci, 70, were allegedly involved in the drug-trafficking group that sold the narcotics to Williams in Brooklyn. Cartagena was identified in September 5 surveillance video of the alleged transaction, according to a release from the Department of Justice.

A weekly dispatch on the cultural discourse, sent Fridays.

Damian Williams, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, called overdose deaths “a public health crisis” in a press release on Wednesday afternoon. “It has to stop. Deadly opioids like fentanyl and heroin don’t care about who you are or what you’ve accomplished.”



Each of the accused are charged with “conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute fentanyl analogue, fentanyl, and heroin, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years in prison and a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison,” while Cartegena is additionally charged with Williams’s death “in connection with the narcotics conspiracy.” The drug- trafficking group was linked to Williams’s overdose during an investigation that began early last year. Authorities claim the men knew about the actor’s overdose death, but kept selling heroin-laced fentanyl to customers in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
