A drug dealer who sold a dose of fentanyl that killed a woman in Escondido pleaded guilty Monday to federal charges.

Danny Nunez, 25, admitted to selling the drugs last fall to the 25-year-old victim, referred to as “L.P.” in court records.

    Prosecutors said the victim bought the fentanyl from Nunez on Sept. 11 and her parents found her dead in her bedroom the following day.

    According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, cell phone evidence and witness statements helped investigators identify Nunez as the person who sold the victim drugs.

    According to a criminal complaint filed in federal court, detectives with the Escondido Police Department later posed as L.P. in messages with Nunez and asked to buy more fentanyl. Nunez was arrested upon leaving his home to meet with the buyer and had two baggies containing fentanyl on him, according to the complaint.

    Nunez is scheduled to be sentenced in May.
