The perpetrators of the tragic poisoning of Cecilia Gentili, a prominent leader of the New York transgender community, have now both admitted their guilt in selling the lethal drugs that have caused this heart-breaking death. These drugs, heroin and fentanyl, have caused so much pain throughout our community. I hope this case will bring a sense of closure to Gentili's family and serve as a warning that this office will be relentless in holding fentanyl dealers accountable.
Court documents state that Gentili was found dead in her bedroom, having overdosed on a combination of controlled substances, including fentanyl, xylazine, cocaine and heroin. Authorities say text messages, phone data and other evidence revealed Venti sold the fentanyl and heroin mixture to Gentili on 5 February and that Kuilan supplied him with the drugs.
