U.S. prosecutors have now charged all three men arrested during the investigation into rapper Mac Miller‘s deadly overdose.
On Wednesday, the grand jury indictment accused the men of conspiring and distributing cocaine and oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl causing Miller’s death in September of 2018, according to CBS News.
Their names: Cameron Pettit, Stephen Walter, and Ryan Reavis. All three had previously been charged with drug-related offenses. The new charges add the allegation that their drugs led to Miller’s death.
In the most recent weeks, the three have been arrested and remained in custody, although none of them have entered a plea, as said in the report. Both Pettit and Walter’s attorneys declined to comment when asked by The Associated Press. As of now, it’s unclear if Reavis has a lawyer.
Pettit, Walter, and Reavis face a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in federal prison and potential life without parole if convicted of either of the charges related to Miller’s untimely death.
Pettit and Walter, who were also charged with being a felon in possession of ammunition, were scheduled to be arraigned on the new charges on October 10. Reavis, who was arrested last week in Arizona, does not have an arraignment date set yet, according to the report.
The indictment also alleges the men continued to sell drugs through August 2019.
The indictment claims Walter supplied the fentanyl and cocaine that Pettit sold to Miller. Reavis, who lived in the Los Angeles area until earlier this year, acted as a middleman for the transaction.
On September 5, 2018, the two communicated via text leading to Pettit selling Miller cocaine, Xanax and 10 blue pills that were thought to be oxycodone but contained fentanyl instead, according to the indictment.
In the texts, Miller declared his love for oxycodone, or “percs” for the brand name Percocet, and also asked for “bars” of Xanax and a “ball” of cocaine. Miller also asked Pettit, “When can u get em?” according to prior court filings.
Miller died two days later at the age of 26 due to an accidental overdose of the powerful opioid fentanyl, along with cocaine and alcohol.
