Police said they worked to determine who sold the woman the drugs, which led them to 23-year-old Commitris Long, who was arrested on Nov. 17, 2020. A grand jury returned an indictment on a charge of first-degree murder by delivery/drug overdose about a month later.
The investigation continued as police worked to find out who sold Long the drugs, according to a news release.
Records show police were able to identify 34-year-old Jennifer Brown as Long’s dealer. A grand jury was convened and returned an indictment on a charge of unlawful distribution of fentanyl on June 25.
She was arrested on July 1.
The two arrests mark the second and third of their kind for the Orlando Police Department’s Overdose Investigative Unit.
