Los Angeles police served a search warrant at an apartment building Thursday as the investigation continued into a 15-year-old girl's fatal drug overdose two days earlier at a high school campus in Hollywood.
According to police and Los Angeles Unified School District officials, Tuesday's incident began around 8 p.m., when a man went to Bernstein High School, 1309 N. Wilton Place, in search of his stepdaughter, who had not returned home from school. Investigators subsequently learned of two other overdoses that occurred at nearby Lexington Park on Tuesday night.LAPD Lt. John Radtke told reporters that the students apparently went to the park and purchased some type of pills, thinking it was the pain killer Percocet, but the pills appeared to have been laced with fentanyl.
Investigators believe the victims purchased the pills at Lexington Park, which is less than a mile away from campus. The Los Angeles Fire Department reported two other overdoses at the park earlier in the day.
