Texas county files murder charges against drug dealers after fentanyl deaths of 2 people
“Fentanyl right now continues to be the biggest threat in our country."

On Friday, Harris County, Texas, announced that murder charges have now been brought against two people in connection with fentanyl overdose deaths.

According to the Houston Chronicle, a new law that took effect in September allowed prosecutors to charge drug dealers with first-degree murder if their drugs kill someone, and carries a penalty of five to 99 years in prison.

In early 2023, Harris County established a task force in conjunction with the local Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to target fentanyl dealers. 14 cases are currently being prosecuted, with Michael Barnett and Omarion Bailey being charged with murder.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
