Murrieta man arrested in connection with fentanyl poisoning death
Authorities on Thursday arrested a Murrieta man in connection with a May 2021 overdose death.
Alexander Magos, 27, was arrested following a lengthy investigation that spanned over the course of an entire year, which found him responsible for selling fentanyl to a man who died due to overdose.
The incident initially occurred on May 6, 2021, when Riverside Sheriff's Department deputies were dispatched to the 23000 block of Peggy Lane after receiving reports of an unresponsive man.
They found 32-year-old Shane Carlin unconscious and rushed him to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Magos was booked for murder and held at Cois Byrd Detention Center.
As the investigation continues, detectives are asking anyone with additional information to contact them at (951) 955-1700.
