A second defendant has agreed to plead guilty in the federal case involving the 2018 death of Mac Miller, Rolling Stone reports and Pitchfork can confirm via court documents. Ryan Michael Reavis, who previously pleaded not guilty, has now agreed to plead guilty to distribution of fentanyl.
In October, Stephen Andrew Walter also agreed to plead guilty to distribution of fentanyl. The case against Cameron James Pettit, who previously pleaded not guilty, is pending.
Reavis’ plea agreement, viewed by Pitchfork, reasserts allegations from the federal grand jury indictment. The agreement reads:
On or about the September 4, 2018, in Los Angeles, California,
within the Central District of California, at the direction of
codefendant Stephen Andrew Walter, [Ryan Michael Reavis] knowingly distributed a
controlled substance in the form of counterfeit oxycodone pills to
Cameron James Pettit. [Reavis] knew that these pills that defendant
provided to Pettit contained fentanyl or some other federally
controlled substance; in fact, the pills contained fentanyl.Shortly
after [Reavis] distributed the pills to Pettit, Pettit distributed
the pills containing fentanyl to [Mac Miller]. M.M. ingested the fentanyl
supplied by Pettit, which, in combination with cocaine and alcohol,
caused M.M.’s death from a fatal overdose on or about September 7,
2018. M.M. would not have died from an overdose but for the fentanyl
contained in the pills that M.M. had received from Pettit (and that
Pettit had received from [Reavis]) on September 4, 2018.A Mac Miller representative offered no comment. Pitchfork has also reached out to attorneys for Cameron James Pettit and Ryan Michael Reavis.
