The Broward County Medical Examiner determined Harper s death had been caused by Fentanyl, officials said.
Officials said investigators used surveillance footage, a witness and digital forensic evidence to obtain an indictment to arrest Theoc.
Theoc, of Pompano Beach, remained behind bars without bond Tuesday, jail records showed. Attorney information wasn t available. This investigation sends a message to all drug dealers that overdose investigations in the City of Coral Springs will not be viewed simply as the death of a person but handled as a criminal investigation, police said in a statement. In the event Coral Springs detectives can identify dealers and link the distribution of the narcotics to the death of a person, we will work the with State Attorney’s Office with the intent of filing criminal charges.
