Five arrested in connection to 13-month-old overdose death

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
May, 20, 2025

EVERETT, WA –The Everett Police Department has arrested five individuals in connection with the overdose death of a 13-month-old in South Everett last year.

On April 24, 2024, Everett patrol officers responded to a medical call in the 1400 block of Casino Rd. The initial call reported a 13-month-old not breathing.

Life-saving efforts were attempted by Everett Fire Department personnel, and the child was ultimately transported to the hospital for further evaluation.

Upon arrival, responding officers noted a burning odor they associated with fentanyl consumption coming from within the home. Officers also observed multiple small, blue fentanyl pills on the floor in the common area.

Detectives with the Major Crimes Unit responded to the scene. A warrant for the address was obtained and served. During warrant service, investigators discovered numerous items used to facilitate the ingestion of narcotics in most rooms of the home.

Investigators conducted interviews with individuals who resided at the home or visited the home. Throughout the course of their investigation, it was determined the involved parties had knowledge of the use of narcotics there. Furthermore, investigators discovered video footage of some occupants of the home using narcotics in the presence of young children.

Tragically, the 13-month-old passed away. The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the cause of death was drugs/poisoning.

Since the incident, detectives conducted extensive follow-up and pursued leads, resulting in the arrest of the five individuals connected to this case. All suspects have been booked into the Snohomish County Jail.

Fentanyl use, even indirectly, poses a serious danger to children. A small amount of fentanyl residue can be lethal to children, as the drug can be more potent to a baby or toddler's smaller body and lack of opioid tolerance. Pills can look like candy to children, especially when they're brightly colored.

Washington State offers a range of resources to support service providers, families, and young people in their efforts to combat fentanyl and opioid use, as well as the risk of overdose:
