A Temecula father who lost his daughter to fentanyl is part of a nationwide group working hard to transform the fight against the deadly drug.
Alexandra was 20 years old. She's described as witty, smart and caring. She was studying sociology on a full scholarship at Arizona State University and aspired to help children in the foster care system.Matt Capelouto
Motivated by his daughter's tragedy, Capelouto is now the president of Drug Induced Homicide, a group that seeks to put pressure on prosecutors to hold drug dealers criminally responsible for their customers' overdose deaths. The man who allegedly provided the fentanyl-laced pills to Alexandra is expected to face trial in federal court in Riverside County. The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office say they are charging illegal drug dealers with voluntary manslaughter or murder when appropriate. The DA’s office has filed seven homicide cases to date and gained convictions in all of them.
