After a 20-year-old University of Georgia student from Atlanta died from a fentanyl overdose over the Thanksgiving holiday, his family was fighting for justice.
Now, it looks like they’re one step closer to achieving that goal.
Shortly before Channel 2 Action News at 6 p.m. , the Atlanta Police Department told Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne that a suspect in the case, Abram Rincon, accused of dealing drugs, had surrendered himself at the Fulton County Jail.

An Atlanta police narcotics lieutenant told Winne that a paperwork mistake may have helped Rincon get out of jail on a signature bond earlier this week, meaning he wouldn’t have to post money to be released.
The lieutenant said, “Make no mistake, [Rincon] would either surrender today or police would be out to arrest him.”
At about 5:46 p.m. on Friday, Rincon’s attorney Jay Abt told Winne his client had surrendered at the jail, which would be his second time there this week.
