San Francisco Couple Face Murder Charges over Toddler's Fatal Fentanyl Overdose
Prosecutors say the child died of acute fentanyl toxicity, and toxicology found lethal fentanyl levels in the toddler and high levels in both adults.
- On Wednesday, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced second-degree murder charges against Michelle Price and Steve Ramirez in connection with their 2-year-old daughter Stevie's fatal fentanyl overdose.
- Authorities discovered the child deceased on February 12 at the couple's residence on the 3800 block of 18th Street, where police found the apartment littered with drug paraphernalia and fentanyl.
- Toxicology reports confirmed acute fentanyl toxicity as the cause of death, while prosecutors allege the parents' administration of Narcan before medics arrived proved they understood the lethal danger.
- This marks the first time the San Francisco District Attorney's Office has filed murder charges for a fatal fentanyl overdose, establishing legal precedent in the city.
