Five people were arrested Thursday for allegedly supplying the fentanyl-laced opioid pills that caused the 2023 overdose deaths of Robert De Niro’s grandson, sources told The Post.
Grant McIver, Bruce Epperson, Eddie Barreto, John Nicolas and Roy Nicolas were part of a criminal network that sold thousands of counterfeit prescription pills to teens and young adults across New York City, court papers allege.

Sophia Haley Marks, 20, an alleged drug dealer known as the “Percocet Princess,” has been separately charged with being the person who sold De Niro Rodriguez the pills he overdosed on.
