Law enforcement officials announced 12 new federal cases targeting fentanyl dealers who, in all but one case, allegedly sold fentanyl and fake pills containing fentanyl that resulted in the death of at least one person.

The 12th case charges an alleged dealer who distributed fentanyl to teenage girls who suffered overdoses and required hospitalization, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

"Fentanyl poisonings are now the number one cause of death for adults in this country 50 years or under," said U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada."If you are distributing this poison, our goal is to charge you with murder," said Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna. They say distributors are now using social media to sell the deadly drugs, putting it in front of countless children.
