In September 2021, The Wire actor Michael K. Williams was found dead in his Brooklyn residence after an accidental fentanyl overdose, and according to reports, officials have prosecuted a group of men in connection with the actor’s death overdose.

According to the journal People, a New York federal court announced narcotics conspiracy charges against four accused members of a drug trafficking group on Wednesday, who is suspected of selling Michael K. Williams fatal fentanyl-laced heroin.

Irvin Cartagena, Hector Robles, Luis Cruz, and Carlos Macci have all been accused of conspiring to distribute and possess fentanyl analogue, fentanyl, and heroin.

They face jail penalties ranging from five to forty years if proven guilty. Authorities charged Irvin Cartagena, who has been seen on video administering the pills to Michael on a Brooklyn sidewalk, with directly causing the actor’s death.

“Today, we report the arrests of members of a narcotics crew, notably Irvin Cartagena, the guy we believe supplied the lethal amount of cocaine to Michael K Williams, in collaboration with our law enforcement allies there at NYPD.” In a statement, U.S. District Attorney Damian Williams stated.

“This is a public health problem,” he continued. And it has to come to an end. Fentanyl and heroin are deadly opiates that don’t care who you are or what you’ve done. They just serve to foster addiction and result in disaster.”

According to The Guardian, the New York City police department investigated Michael’s death, but federal prosecutors in Manhattan filed the charges, revealing that the suspects had been under observation even before the actor’s deadly overdose in September.

Michael K. Williams, a five-time Emmy nominee, rose to prominence in 2002 as Omar Little on HBO’s drama series The Wire, where he received critical praise. In July, the actor received his sixth Emmy nomination for his work in HBO’s Lovecraft Country, for which he received critical acclaim.
