Man Arrested for Giving Mac Miller Fentanyl-Laced Pills

A man named Cameron James Pettit, 28, has been arrested for supplying the late Mac Miller with counterfeit oxycodone pills that contained fentanyl, and ultimately led to his death.

“According to the affidavit in support of the criminal complaint, Pettit and others distributed narcotics to 26-year-old Malcolm James McCormick – who recorded and performed under the name Mac Miller – approximately two days before McCormick suffered a fatal drug overdose in Studio City on September 7, 2018,” the press release reads (via Us Weekly). “The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner later determined that McCormick died of mixed drug toxicity involving fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.”

“While the death of any victim of the opioid epidemic is tragic, today’s arrest is another success for the DEA’s HIDTA Fusion Task Force,” Daniel C. Comeaux, DEA Los Angeles Deputy Special Agent in Charge, added to NBC. “Let our message be clear, if you peddle illegal drugs and kill someone, the DEA will be the voice of the victim. We will not rest until you face the justice system.”

Mac Miller was found dead in September of 2018 and his cause of death was released in November of 2018. He was only 26 years old. RIP.
