Detectives say the suspects sold fentanyl that caused two overdoses, including pressed pills misrepresented as oxycodone, and both cases remain active.
- On Friday, August 7, 2026, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office arrested two individuals on first-degree murder charges following separate investigations into fatal fentanyl overdoses.
- Detectives investigated the October 17, 2025, death of Kira Rogers, found with fentanyl in her vehicle, and the death of Olivia Williams, who received pills from Haley Williams later identified as pressed fentanyl.
- Authorities arrested Robinson Stlouis on August 7 after linking him to Rogers' death, while Williams was arrested August 6 after a search warrant revealed approximately 60 grams of pressed fentanyl pills, a firearm, and drug paraphernalia.
- Sheriff Chad Chronister emphasized the danger of counterfeit pills, stating, "Fentanyl disguised as legitimate prescription medication is one of the deadliest threats facing our community." Both suspects face first-degree murder charges from unlawful distribution.
