Mac Miller’s alleged drug dealer has been arrested in relation to his death

He supposedly sold the drugs to the rapper, two days before his overdose. - by Bianca Mastroianni
  • 05 Sep 2019

Cameron James Pettit has been arrested in connection with the death of rapper Mac Miller - with prosecutors accusing him of supplying the musician with counterfeit drugs only two days before his overdose death.

The 23-year-old accused drug dealer was arrested on Wednesday morning, charged with supplying Mac Miller - real name Malcolm James McCormick - with oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl.

A criminal complaint has revealed that James Pettit provided McCormick with oxycodone, cocaine and the sedative Xanax on September 5, 2018.

Only two days later, on September 7, 2018, Mac Miller was found dead in his Los Angeles home, with Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruling his death as a fatal overdose from fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.

For those who don't know, Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid which has 50 times more the potency than, heroin and 100 times more than morphine.

After Mac Miller’s death, Cameron James Pettit was remorseful, texting a friend saying, “I am not great… Most likely I will die in jail,” according to the affidavit.

Special agents from the DEA Fusion Task Force arrested the alleged dealer, with him expected to make his first court appearance in District Court in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon.

The charges he faces are one count of distribution of a controlled substance. 

“While the death of any victim of the opioid epidemic is tragic, today’s arrest is another success for the DEA’s HIDTA Fusion Task Force,” Agent Daniel C. Comeaux with DEA’s Los Angeles division said in a statement.

“Let our message be clear, if you peddle illegal drugs and kill someone, the DEA will be the voice of the victim. We will not rest until you face the justice system.”

According to the NYC Department of Health, Opioid overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the United States.

Following Mac Miller's death in 2018, his family released a statement thanking everyone for their support and "prayers".

“Malcolm McCormick, known and adored by fans as Mac Miller, has tragically passed away at the age of 26,” they said in a statement provided to multiple outlets. “He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers. Please respect our privacy. There are no further details as to the cause of his death at this time.”

Since then, Miller's famous ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande has spent the better part of a year paying tribute to the late star.
