Drug Dealer Sentenced in Michael K. Williams' Overdose Death

An elderly drug dealer, Carlos Macci, has been sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison in connection with the overdose death of actor Michael K. Williams. Macci, who is 72 years old, was among four men arrested on drug trafficking charges tied to Williams' death. Williams died in September 2021 after consuming heroin laced with fentanyl, which he purchased from a member of Macci's crew. Macci pleaded guilty to possessing and distributing narcotics and was sentenced to 30 months in prison, plus three years of supervised release. The judge acknowledged Macci's age and difficult background but emphasized the toll fentanyl has taken and the fact that Macci continued selling the drug despite knowing it caused Williams' death.
