Residents in the Bronx neighborhood where a 1-year-old boy died from opioid exposure at a daycare center are mourning not only the loss of the infant but also the impact of fentanyl on their community. Longtime residents describe the area as overrun with drugs, particularly fentanyl, which has become the most common drug found in New York City overdose cases. The neighborhood has seen a high rate of overdose deaths, and locals criticize the police for not doing enough to address the drug problem.
