fentanyl death

Six Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s deputies and detectives appeared in court Monday detailing what happened the night 16-year-old Emma Lace Price was found dead in 23-year-old Michael Russell’s home in Corralitos, Calif. back on Nov. 12, 2021.

In a deal that spared him a potential life sentence, a La Jolla man has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter for selling fentanyl-laced pills to a woman who later died.

A juvenile has been charged with murder in the 2020 death of a 12-year-old San Jose girl who overdosed on fentanyl, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.
