Denton police say a December overdose death on West Hickory Street has led to murder charges against a Dallas couple, after detectives traced the fentanyl involved back to them.
The victim, 34-year-old Amber Morris, was found unresponsive at a home in the 2200 block of W. Hickory Street on Dec. 27, 2025, and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators said toxicology testing showed a lethal mix of fentanyl and other sedatives.
According to the City of Denton, detectives concluded that 29-year-old Taylor Lambert and 38-year-old Matthew “Hunter” Clark sold fentanyl to Morris the night before she died. Based on that evidence, a detective obtained a murder warrant for Lambert. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner listed Morris’ cause of death as “fentanyl bromazolam, diazepam toxicity.”
