Williams’s death pleaded not guilty during their arraignment in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday. Manhattan authorities arrested four men on Wednesday in connection with the fatal overdose of Michael K. Williams. The actor, 54, was found dead in his apartment after overdosing on heroin-laced fentanyl on September 6, 2021.
Damian Williams, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, called overdose deaths “a public health crisis” in a press release on Wednesday afternoon. “It has to stop. Deadly opioids like fentanyl and heroin don’t care about who you are or what you’ve accomplished.” Each of the accused are charged with “conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute fentanyl analogue, fentanyl, and heroin, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years in prison and a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison,” while Cartegena is additionally charged with Williams’s death “in connection with the narcotics conspiracy.” The drug- trafficking group was linked to Williams’s overdose during an investigation that began early last year.
