California man charged with distributing fentanyl that led to death of Denver man

"Collin Walker's death is yet another tragic example of the devastation that fentanyl continues to cause in our community," Denver Dist. Atty. Beth McCann said in a statement. "The charges against Mr. Gamal should send the message that people who are accused of selling this poison in Denver will be prosecuted by my office to the fullest extent of the law."

Authorities alleged that Jamal Gamal bore responsibility for the death of Collin Walker by selling the 28-year-old fentanyl in November 2023 that led to his death.

After Walker died, Denver police set up a sting operation, purchasing more than 14 grams of fentanyl from Gamal, who mailed the drug from California.

Distribution of fentanyl resulting in death has been a charge since 2022 in Colorado, with a focus on prosecuting drug dealers.
