A Brooklyn drug dealer pleaded guilty Wednesday to providing 'The Wire' actor Michael K. Williams with fentanyl-laced heroin, causing his death.
Cartagena, 39, signed a plea agreement with prosecutors stipulating that the mix of heroin and fentanyl he sold Williams resulted in his death. His lawyer, Sean Maher, declined comment.
Williams' death came despite an investigation by the New York Police Department that placed a paid informant making controlled heroin buys on the same block where Williams bought drugs.
