Two Duluth men pleaded guilty Monday to homicide charges stemming from a woman s 2019 opioid overdose death.
Jesse Wayne Merrill, 31, and Seth Daniel Nelson, 32, enter the pleas at hearings in State District Court, just two weeks before scheduled jury trial dates.
The charges stem from the death of 41-year-old Angela Dawn Owen, who was found unconscious in her residence on the 1100 block of North Central Avenue on Oct. 22, 2019. The Midwest Medical Examiner s Office determined it to be the result of the toxic effects of fentanyl and heroin.
