Drug dealer pleads guilty in Michael K. Williams' overdose death case.

A drug dealer, Irvin Cartagena, has pleaded guilty to distributing fentanyl-laced heroin that resulted in the death of actor Michael K Williams in 2021. Cartagena sold the drug "in broad daylight in New York City, feeding addiction and causing tragedy," according to the prosecutor. Despite knowing that Williams died after being sold the product, Cartagena and his co-conspirators "continued to sell fentanyl-laced heroin in broad daylight amidst residential apartment buildings in Brooklyn and Manhattan." Cartagena's guilty plea carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison.
