Federal prosecutors have charged a man in connection with the death of rapper Mac Miller, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Wednesday. Mac Miller was found dead of an overdose at his Studio City, California home on September 7, 2018. He was 26.
The 42 page complaint, filed in the Central District of California, alleges that Cameron, 28, supplied the rapper with counterfeit oxycodone pills that contained fentanyl. Prosecutors say Mac Miller had asked for Percocet, a prescription painkiller. Authorities previously ruled his death an accident, and the cause was listed as a mixed drug toxicity involving fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.
According to the complaint, Cameron delivered the pills to Mac Miller two days before his death. Investigators said they served search warrants at multiple locations. The complaint also cites Instagram messages sent after the rapper died, in which Cameron allegedly wrote that he should probably not post anything, and later said he was not doing great.
Cameron was taken into custody early Wednesday morning, according to reports. The complaint says he is one of three people who allegedly supplied the pills.
Daniel Comeaux of the DEA in Los Angeles said in a statement that the arrest was a success for the agency’s task force and that the DEA will be the voice of the victim.
The charge is an allegation, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
