Five busted in OD death of De Niro’s grandson, accused of supplying thousands of pills to teens
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.
The five men allegedly supplied the drugs responsible for the July 2023 overdose death of the legendary actor’s grandson, Leandro De Niro Rodriguez — and also sold drugs that killed 19-year-old Akira Stein, who was the daughter of Chris Stein, the lead guitarist in Blondie, law enforcement sources said.
The five men also allegedly sold drugs to Akira Stein, the late daughter of Blondie guitarist Chris Stein.
