Lucky Muller Sentenced to Life for Fentanyl Death
Jacksonville, Florida – Trumaine ‘Lucky’ Muller, a 34-year-old Orange Park resident, has been sentenced to life in federal prison for his role in the fentanyl overdose death of an 18-year-old woman.
A federal jury found Muller guilty on January 16, 2019, of distributing a lethal dose of fentanyl, as well as other felony drug offenses and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
According to court documents, on November 9, 2016, at approximately 10:30 pm, Muller sold heroin (which was actually fentanyl) to Christopher Williams and Tyler Hamilton. The two men provided a portion of the substance to ‘A.B.,’ an 18-year-old female. A.B., a first-time opiate user, snorted what she believed was a small dose of heroin. However, the substance that Muller had sold was fentanyl, which caused the death of A.B. at approximately 4:45 am on November 10, 2016.
On January 31, 2017, during the ensuing investigation into A.B.’s death, the Clay County Sheriff’s Office made a controlled purchase of heroin and furanylfentanyl from Muller. On February 8, 2017, during the execution of a search warrant, officers seized furanylfentanyl and a loaded revolver from an apartment in Clay County where Muller had been living.
‘Families and communities have been ravaged by the opioid epidemic. I commend law enforcement and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for their skillful investigation and prosecution of Trumaine Muller for the overdose death of AB,’ said State Attorney Melissa Nelson.
‘We appreciate the hard work of everyone involved in this. This is truly teamwork at its finest,’ stated Clay County Sheriff Darryl Daniels.
This case was investigated by the Clay County Sheriff’s Office and the Office of the State Attorney for the Fourth Judicial Circuit. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Tysen Duva.
