DENVER ( KDVR ) — On Friday morning, a big arrest was announced when it comes to fentanyl.
24-year-old charged with murder in connection to fentanyl overdose death
Denver District Attorney Beth McCann and Denver Chief of Police Ron Thomas said they arrested a fentanyl distributor in California who allegedly sold fentanyl to a man from Tyler in Denver who died.
Denver police and the Denver DA’s office said they arrested Jamal Gamal who lives in San Francisco. They are charging him with the distribution of fentanyl resulting in death, which holds a similar prison sentence as homicide. He is expected to be brought back to Denver on Sept. 16 to face charges.
Gamal was allegedly selling drugs online and mailing them to the buyers. Unfortunately, these pills were deadly.
Police and the DA said that between Nov. 9-19, 2023, Gamal sold fentanyl to Collin Walker, 28 of Tyler, and that caused his death. According to Walker’s obituary , he attended All Saints Episcopal School in Tyler and was attending the Metropolitan State University of Denver when he died.
