A few hours after providing him with the goods, she sent another message to the young man asking how he was doing
The alleged drug dealer behind the death of Robert De Niro’s grandson was arrested on Saturday in New York. Nicknamed in the community “Percocet Princess” or “Princess Oxycodone” – the name of this opioid used to calm pain hijacked for the benefit of drug addicts -, Sophia Haley Marks, 20, was apprehended after having sold to an undercover police officer the same type of tablets as those which caused the death of Leandro De Niro-Rodriguez.
The messages found in the phone of the 19-year-old young man, an actor like his grandfather, showed that the drug dealer had been in contact with him in the days preceding his death, and that he had asked her to provide him with Xanax and oxycodone. “Do you really need it? I don’t want to kill you,” the dealer asked Leandro. A few hours after providing him with the goods, she sent another message to the young man asking how he was doing. But this one was already dead.

His body was found on July 2 in his Wall Street apartment by a friend who came to check on him. The famous tablets sold contained Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine and 30 to 50 times more powerful than heroin, and of which a few milligrams are enough to kill.
Made aware of the death of Leandro De Niro-Rodriguez, the young woman nevertheless continued her business, notably selling 25 of these tablets to a police officer who was investigating her actions.
That’s how she was arrested. While former President Donald Trump had designated Fentanyl a public health emergency, the Biden administration called it a real “threat to the country”, calling in April for legislation to be passed to fight more effectively. against this scourge. Fentanyl has become the number one cause of drug overdoses in the United States, killing tens of thousands of people each year. Among his victims, the singer Prince or the singer of the Irish group Cranberries, Dolores O’Riordan.
