With help from the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) lab, the pills were confirmed to contain the illicit drug fentanyl.
The fatal overdose of the boy happened less than 48 hours after the death of another teen. Thus police and the DEA issued a community warning concerning the pills which were preliminary believed to be the cause of death for both teens, according to PWC PD. During the investigation, police alongside the DEA and FBI identified a suspect distributor operating in the Woodbridge area.
On May 11, all forces executed a search warrant at Woods’ home on Palm Rd. in Woodbridge. Local authorities found Woods, identified as the accused, and took him into custody without incident.

At this time, the investigation cannot be connected to the death of a 15-year-old Woodbridge teen which happened on April 24. The investigation into that teen’s death continues.
