Mac Miller Death: LA Man Slapped With 11-Year Jail Time for Fentanyl Distribution

One man linked to Mac Miller's death has been sentenced to around 11 years in prison after pleading guilty to supplying counterfeit fentanyl-laced pills to the drug dealer who sold them to the rapper.

The charged man was identified as former West Los Angeles resident Ryan Michael Reavis. He pleaded guilty last year to a piece of single-count superseding information charging him with the distribution of fentanyl, according to The Hill News report.

The U.S. Attorney's Office noted that Reavis was sentenced to 131 months in federal prison.

Reavis is just one of the three people charged in light of Miller's death. The U.S. Attorney's Office announced that Stephen Andrew Walter, 48, is set to be sentenced in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, a case against Cameron Pettit, 30, is pending.

Reavis admitted to knowing that the pills contained fentanyl or some other controlled substance as noted by the Justice Department.

Pettit then gave the fentanyl-laced pills to Miller. Revis reportedly supplied the pills to Pettit.

Mac Miller Death

U.S. District Judge Otis D. Wring II delivered the sentence after prosecutors read an emotional statement from miller's mom, Karen Meyers.

Meyers said in a statement that her life "went dark the moment Malcolm left his world," adding that her son was her person, "more than a son."

Meyers added that she and Miller used to speak nearly every day about everything, according to a Rolling Stone report.

She described their love for each other as "unparalleled" and noted that her son's music and voice "spoke to many people all over the world."

Meyers said that Miller "would never knowingly take a pill with fentanyl," noting that her son wanted to live and was excited about the future.

Reavis said that it was not just a regular drug case and that somebody died. He noted that his family would be "wrecked" if it was him.

Prosecutors said that Revis had three guns in his possession when he was arrested in Lake Havasu. It included an untraceable "ghost gun" and boxes of ammunition.

There were also digital scales covered in heroin and methamphetamine residue, blank prescription pads, and baggies, according to prosecutors.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Elia Herrera told the judge that they recovered a text message Reavis sent to an associate in June 2019 showing that he was still selling pills around a year after Miller's death.

Mac Miller Overdose

In 2018, a coroner has ruled that the rapper's death was an accidental overdose due to a combination of drugs and alcohol, according to an NBC Boston News report.

A Los Angeles County coroner's report named Miller's cause of death as "mixed toxicity," noting that cocaine, alcohol, and opioid fentanyl were found in his system.

Miller, whose real name is Malcolm James McCormick, was found unresponsive in his Los Angeles home by paramedics. He was declared dead soon after, with the autopsy performed on Sept. 10, 2018.

Fellow artists performed a tribute concert for him, featuring Chance the Rapper, Travis Scott, and John Mayer.
