The two later appeared to exchange phone numbers, and then Williams left and returned home, according to the complaint.He did not leave his apartment after that and was found dead the following day in the same clothes as he was wearing in the surveillance images, according to the document.Investigators were able to identify Cartagena using other surveillance images from a nearby store, matching a tattoo on his right arm to a prior arrest photo, according to the complaint.All four defendants face a charge of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and heroin, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison. Cartagena is also accused of causing Williams' death, which carries a 20-year mandatory minimum.Williams rose to stardom with his performance as Omar Little on 'The Wire', and later appeared in 'Boardwalk Empire', 'The Night Of' and 'Lovecraft Country'. In interviews, he was candid about his struggles with addiction. He was 54.He died of acute intoxication from the "combined effects of fentanyl, p-fluorofentanyl, heroin and cocaine" in September 2021.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
