SAN FRANSICO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 An investigation into a new drug that killed a teen led to the arrest of 4 people and the seizure of 20,000 pills in San Francisco.<\/p>\n
The San Francisco Police Department made 4 arrests after a months-long investigation following the death of a 16-year-old teen from a drug overdose on a suspected new drug called cychlorphine.<\/p>\n

On September 8th, Officers conducted a search of a home in the 700 block of O’Farrell Street.<\/p>\n
There, they contacted 46-year-old Nicholas Wallace and 44-year-old Sharonee Hyson.<\/p>\n
Officers located 34 suspected oxycodone pills, cocaine, and a loaded gun.<\/p>\n
Both were arrested without incident.<\/p>\n
The next day, they searched two more homes.<\/p>\n
They contacted 46-year-old Leander Pitts and 39-year-old Star Lamare at the residences.<\/p>\n
The search also resulted in the seizure of 20,000 pills of suspected counterfeit Xanax, oxycodone, hydrocodone, cyclobenzaprine, and other deadly narcotics, including fentanyl.<\/p>\n
The search also resulted in the discovery of 68.5 grams of MDMA, 6.5 grams of black tar heroin, a semi-automatic assault rifle, a semi-automatic pistol, and $2,267 in cash.<\/p>\n
They were arrested without incident.<\/p>\n
