Bronx daycare<\/a>.<\/p>\nProsecutors allege from November 2017 through January 2024, Cabrera and unnamed co-conspirators distributed heroin, fentanyl and para-fluorofentanyl, a similar drug, throughout the Bronx.<\/p>\n
Cabrera sold heroin and fentanyl to undercover law enforcement officers, prosecutors said, resulting in a covert video in which he sold an undercover officer nearly $2,000 worth of fentanyl-laced heroin.<\/p>\n
In the sale, Cabrera was caught by police on the video, prosecutors said. He said\u00a0 he charges higher prices for pills because \u201cit\u2019s a fucking Opioid epidemic out here.\u201d Prosecutors said Cabrera made up to nearly $10,000 weekly from dealing drugs.<\/p>\n
They also allege Cabrera stored firearms and narcotics, including fentanyl and para-fluorofentanyl, similar to fentanyl, in his apartment, where the 12-year old lived. They say Cabrera stored drugs in a safe in a closet near the bedroom the 12-year-old shared with at least one sibling.<\/p>\n
He also stored drugs, including pills, in the primary bedroom, including in bags, according to prosecutors. Cabrera met and sold drugs near the apartment, they said.<\/p>\n
On May 29, 2022, Cabrera sold drugs to Alex DeFilippo, one of his relatives, who returned to Kyla McCarthy\u2019s apartment. Internet searches that day on her phone relate to naloxone, a nasal spray known as Narcan, used to reverse potentially deadly Opioid overdoses such as fentanyl.<\/p>\n
After one of McCarthy\u2019s family members requested police check on her, NYPD officers conducted a wellness check at the apartment. They found DeFilippo and McCarthy dead, prosecutors said, after taking fentanyl and para-fluorofentanyl that prosecutors say Cabrera sold them. Police found an unused dose of Narcan at McCarthy\u2019s feet, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
Less than a month after DeFilippo and McCarthy died, on or around June 28, 2022, a 12-year-old boy allegedly was found by a family member in his bed in Cabrera\u2019s apartment unresponsive and foaming at the mouth.<\/p>\n
He was transported to a Bronx hospital, where fentanyl was identified as a cause of death as he was pronounced dead.\n<\/p>\n
Prosecutors allege on June 29, 2022 after returning from the hospital where the boy was pronounced dead, Cabrera looked for a bag where he stored drugs, texting he wanted \u201cto make sure nothing is missing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prosecutors charge Cabrera continued to sell drugs, even while in jail for other firearms and drug charges, resulting in state court convictions.\n<\/p>\n
Cabrera is charged with conspiracy to distribute narcotics resulting in death and three counts of distribution of narcotics resulting in death, each carrying mandatory minimums of 20 years and maximums of life in prison, although judges determine and impose sentences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The United States Attorney\u2019s Office announced today the unsealing of a indictment charging a Bronx man with causing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254013,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[98994,128,6277,98995,28920,6276,9,24,63,103,98996,129,131,130,98997,98998],"class_list":["post-254012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-aristides-cabrer","tag-bronx","tag-fentanyl","tag-fentanyl-traffickers","tag-jay-clayton","tag-narcan","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-nypd","tag-para-fluorofentanyl","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news","tag-trafficking-drugs","tag-united-states-attorneys-office"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
