Detectives from the Police Department’s special investigations unit, assisted by HSI’s Fentanyl Abatement and Suppression Team, concluded a several month investigation with a search warrant in a neighboring city. The dealer had been arrested in our City with over a kilogram of fentanyl and ammunition in early 2022.He is a major source of fentanyl in our community, so his arrest was very important to us. When the detectives arrived at the residence to serve the warrant, there was also a juvenile in the house. When all was said and done, an adult male and an adult female were arrested for narcotics sales and child endangerment. The juvenile was taken into protective custody by the Drug Endangered Children branch of Child Welfare Services.Apprehension of San Diego Homicide Suspect
