Four people have been arrested in connection with the death of actor Michael K. Williams. Hector Robles, Luis Cruz, Carlos Macci, and Irvin Cartagena were charged with narcotics conspiracy for selling fentanyl-laced heroin to Williams, leading to his death in September of last year.
Williams, the beloved star known for his role as Omar Little in The Wire, was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment on Sept. 6 in what the medical examiner ruled as an overdose involving “fentanyl, p-fluorofentanyl, heroin, and cocaine.” He was 54. The men who were arrested had allegedly sold Williams a fatal dose the day before, in a hand-to-hand transaction that was captured on surveillance.
