A 21-year-old man has been charged with murder in connection with the death of a 22-year-old man, marking the first state-level fentanyl-related homicide case in Travis County, Texas.
A 21-year-old man is facing murder charges in what authorities say is Travis County 's first state-level fentanyl-related homicide case. Noe Arrellano-Perez was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the August 4 death of Raymundo Silva Jr., 22, the Travis County Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday. Deputies responding to a medical call found Silva unresponsive on the floor of a residence in the 3300 block of Killingsworth Lane in Pflugerville.
Despite CPR attempts, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators recovered a blue pill that tested positive for fentanyl. An autopsy revealed Silva died from the combined toxic effects of fentanyl, cocaine, ethanol and quetiapine. Detectives identified Arrellano-Perez as Silva's suspected supplier of the pills. Evidence placed him near Silva's residence the night of his death, and investigators uncovered correspondence between the two about pill delivery, authorities said. Arrellano-Perez has been in custody at the Travis County Jail since September 2 on unrelated charges. The murder charge was added following the investigation
