Two Oklahoma County Jail inmates charged with murder for inmate's overdose death in January
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Two current inmates at the Oklahoma County Detention Center have been charged with murder for the overdose death of another inmate in January.
The Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office charged 47-year-old Gary Grass and 28-year-old Juan Enriquez with first degree murder on Thursday afternoon in connection to the death of 37-year-old Vincent Riggie last month.
Riggie was found dead at around 7 p.m. on Saturday, January 18. After an investigation, the OCDC determined Riggie died from an overdose caused by fentanyl.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Enriquez reportedly told an officer during an interview that he gave Grass some fentanyl to exchange with someone in another cell for food. Grass then allegedly gave that fentanyl to Riggie prior to his overdose.
The OCDC says that since Riggie's death on January 18, nearly 20 fentanyl-related overdoses have occurred in the jail, and about 50 doses of Narcan have been administered to prevent overdose deaths.
