PONCHATOULA, La. (WGNO) — An arrest has been made in connection with a 2022 fentanyl overdose death investigation in Tangipahoa Parish.
According to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a home in Ponchatoula in July 2022, where they found 19-year-old Louis Reynier unresponsive.
TPSO deputies said Reynier was pronounced dead after performing live-saving measures, and an autopsy reportedly determined that the death was “the result of an overdose with a significant amount of Fentanyl present in the victim’s blood.”
Reynier’s case was reopened after a family member brought awareness to it.
TPSO officials said narcotics detectives began investigating and identified 30-year-old Deandre Dominique Wheeler as a suspect.
According to the TPSO, Wheeler allegedly sold the drugs to Reynier.
He was taken into custody on Thursday. During a search of his Ponchatoula home, TPSO detectives said they found counterfeit Xanax pills suspected to contain fentanyl, marijuana, scales, packaging materials and cellular devices.
Wheeler faces charges of second-degree murder, distribution of fentanyl, possession with the intent to distribute fentanyl and marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
