Tranq Drug Suspected in Downtown LA Deaths

Three people were found dead in a building in Skid Row, Los Angeles, and authorities suspect drug use as the cause of death. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has issued a warning about a drug called xylazine, also known as "tranq," which is not an opioid but is often mixed with one like fentanyl. Xylazine can cause tissue infections and wounds that can lead to medical complications like amputation. The drug has been found on Skid Row, and the L.A. County Department of Health is working to obtain test strips that check for Xylazine.
