Drug Dealer Sentenced to 10 Years for Actor Michael K. Williams' Death

A New York City drug dealer, Irvin Cartagena, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for providing actor Michael K. Williams with fentanyl-laced heroin, resulting in Williams' death. Cartagena pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute drugs and was captured on a security camera selling the heroin to Williams. Williams, known for his role in "The Wire," died from an overdose in September 2021. Prosecutors revealed that Cartagena and others continued to sell fentanyl-laced heroin even after Williams' death. The judge acknowledged Cartagena's prior convictions but deemed the recommended sentence of 20 years too high, settling on a 10-year term.
