A trial date has reportedly been set for the three men accused of supplying the drugs prosecutors link to the death of rapper Mac Miller.
Cameron, Stephen and Ryan are scheduled to appear in court on November 16. All three have pleaded not guilty and are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.
According to the federal indictment announced in 2019, prosecutors say Cameron supplied the Pittsburgh rapper with cocaine, oxycodone and Xanax, and that the pills were counterfeit and contained fentanyl. Prosecutors allege Stephen used Ryan as a runner to deliver the drugs to Cameron.
In announcing the indictment, U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna said, “It has become increasingly common for us to see drug dealers peddling counterfeit pharmaceuticals made with fentanyl.”
Prosecutors also allege the three continued to distribute narcotics after Mac’s death. Cameron was arrested in September 2019. Federal agents searched Ryan’s home in Lake Havasu, Arizona, and said they found prescription drugs, firearms and ammunition, and Stephen was arrested in Los Angeles the next day. According to AllHipHop, Ryan faces additional charges including firearms offenses. All three have been held in federal custody without bail.
Ryan’s attorney has said her client should be tried separately because he was only an alleged runner and minor participant tied to a single transaction.
Mac was found unresponsive at his Los Angeles home on September 7, 2018. An autopsy ruled his death an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.
