Authorities believe 55-year-old Luis Rojas Cabrera gave Baron the fatal injection as an unlicensed practitioner. Cabrera is licensed in the Dominican Republic, but not the U.S. or New York, police said.<\/p>\n

He was charged with reckless endangerment and unauthorized practice of a profession, according to police. Authorities said charges could be upgraded, depending on how the toxicology report comes back.<\/p>\n
