Fatal Fentanyl Discovery: Day Care Tragedy Unveils Shocking Drug Stash

A kilogram of fentanyl was found stored on children's play mats at a New York City day care where a 1-year-old boy died from exposure to the drug. Three other children were hospitalized and treated with Narcan. Day care operator Grei Mendez and tenant Carlisto Acevedo Brito are facing federal charges of narcotics possession with intent to distribute resulting in death and conspiracy to distribute narcotics resulting in death. The defendants allegedly ran a drug operation from the day care center, poisoning four babies and killing one of them. The defendants were initially arrested on state charges and are now in federal custody, facing a maximum of life in prison if convicted.
