The overdose death of an Illinois police chief's son has led to murder charges being filed against the man who sold a deadly mix of heroin and Fentanyl to the teen, the New York Times reported Aug. 25.

The 35-year-old dealer, Corey Crump, faces up to 30 years in prison in connection with the death of Joseph Krecker, 17, the son of Franklin Park Deputy Chief Jack Krecker. The teen overdosed in June.

The heroin-fentanyl mix has killed hundreds of people across the country, but this is the first case where murder charges have been filed in connection with an overdose.

"With this announcement comes the bittersweet reality that members of our own family can be vulnerable to the evils of gangs, guns and drugs," said Chicago police superintendent Philip J. Cline.
