Hollywood Hills Dealer Cameron Pettit Charged In Death Of Hip-Hop Star Mac Miller

LOS ANGELES, CA. (THECOUNT) — Federal prosecutors have charged Hollywood Hills, CA man, Cameron James Pettit, in connection with the death of hip-hop artist Mac Miller, who was found dead of a drug overdose nearly a year ago, NBC News reports.

Pettit, 28, was one of three people who supplied Miller with counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl. Miller had asked to be furnished with “percs,” an abbreviation for percocet, a prescribed painkiller containing oxycodone, according to a 42-page criminal complaint filed in the Central District of California on Wednesday.

Miller was discovered unresponsive in his Studio City home on Sept. 7, 2018. The manner of death was certified as an accident, although it was later determined that the rapper died of an overdose of alcohol, cocaine and fentanyl, reports ClickonDetroit.

Investigators, who served search warrants at multiple locations, recovered a plastic bag containing pills allegedly supplied by a prostitute and a madam. Two days earlier, Pettit delivered to Miller counterfeit oxycodone pills that contained fentanyl, cocaine and Xanax.

The criminal complaint detailed Instagram direct messages between Pettit and others reacting to the rapper’s death. “I think I should probably not post anything …just to be smart,” Petit allegedly said in one of the texts.
