A trial date has been set for the alleged drug dealers accused of selling Mac Miller the counterfeit pills that killed him.
Miller – whose real name was Malcolm McCormick – died on September 7, 2018 at the age of 26. A coroner’s report later revealed his cause of death to be “mixed drug toxicity”, with fentanyl, cocaine & alcohol found in his system at the time of his death.
In 2019, three men – Cameron James Pettit, Andrew Walter & Ryan Michael Reavis – were charged with selling cocaine, oxycodone & Xanax to the rapper. Two days before his death, Miller bought a mix of substances, including the three aforementioned ones.
Prosecutors claimed that the pills given to the star were counterfeit & laced with fentanyl. Walter allegedly supplied the pills to Pettit, while Reavis was allegedly employed as a runner.
US Attorney Nick Hanna said the defendants had “allegedly continued to sell narcotics after Mr McCormick’s death with full knowledge of the risk of their products”.
The three men have been held without bail for over two years in Los Angeles. Their trial is now set to begin on November 16, 2021.
Reavis is reportedly also facing charges of fraudulent schemes & artifices, possession of marijuana, possession of prescription drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, weapons misconduct by a prohibited possessor & manufacture of a prohibited weapon.
All three defendants have pleaded not guilty.
