A man was sentenced Monday to 17.5 years in prison and five years of supervised released in Los Angeles federal court in connection to the 2018 overdose death of 26-year-old rapper Mac Miller.

Ryan Michael Reavis, 39, was sentenced in April to nearly 11 years in prison after previously pleading guilty to a single count of distribution of fentanyl.

Miller died of an overdose in Los Angeles in 2018. .

Walter struck a deal with federal prosecutors in October to serve 17 years if he pleaded guilty to one count of fentanyl distribution, a reduced charge from the original distribution of fentanyl resulting in death, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Los Angeles County Medical Examiner and Coroner ruled the Miller died from an accidental overdose caused by a lethal cocktail of fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol, FOX 5 San Diego reported. 

Pettit is accused of later selling cocaine, Xanax and 10 "blues" — counterfeit oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl – to Miller about three days before the rapper died, according to the Times

Pharmaceutical fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, is sold through illegal drug markets for its heroin-like effect and is the primary driver of overdose deaths in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids were nearly 12 times higher in 2019 than in 2013 and have accelerated since the pandemic.
