A woman has been arrested in connection with the suspected overdose death of Leandro De Niro-Rodriguez, the grandson of Oscar-winner Robert De Niro, law enforcement sources have confirmed.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York confirmed Sofia Haley Marks’ arrest on Friday and charged her with the killing of the 19-year-old, who was found dead at his Manhattan apartment on July 2. She is expected to be arraigned on drug-related charges Friday.
The Associated Press reported that Marks, 20, was arrested Thursday by New York City police officers and federal drug agents on charges of selling drugs to De Niro-Rodriguez.
