""This is the first homicide case that we have filed in connection with a fatal overdose due to fentanyl," Jenkins said. "And I want to be clear to parents who may be struggling with substance abuse disorder: First and foremost, we must protect the children in San Francisco.""
""There wasn't really anywhere safe for this child to be inside of this home," Jenkins said."
Brooke Jenkins, the San Francisco District Attorney, filed second-degree murder charges against Michelle Price and Steve Ramirez following the fentanyl overdose death of their 2-year-old child. The charges were amended from initial allegations of child endangerment and drug possession after toxicology results confirmed acute fentanyl toxicity. Officers found drug paraphernalia and fentanyl accessible to the child in their home. Jenkins emphasized the need to protect children from the dangers of substance abuse, marking this as the first homicide case linked to a fentanyl overdose.
