After the police intervention, a 21-year-old suspected drug dealer was arrested and linked to the drugs. The victims were students, with their schools acknowledged in a public message following the incident. This event underscores the alarming rise in fentanyl use and the ongoing crisis surrounding counterfeit drugs in communities, resulting in severe consequences for youth.
"Police investigators believe the four bought what they thought was cocaine, but 'was most likely fentanyl' or cocaine laced with fentanyl, said the press release."
"The suspected dealer - a 21-year-old man - was found in his car in a parking lot about a mile from the victims' home."
"Santa Rosa City Schools sent a message to families Sunday acknowledging that police were investigating the deaths of four students or former students."
"He was booked into Sonoma County Jail on suspicion of crimes including two counts of second-degree homicide and was being held without bail."
