3rd suspect arrested over fentanyl death

A third person has been arrested in connection with the death of a 1-year-old boy at a New York City day care center after being exposed to fentanyl.

Renny Antonio Parra Paredes was arrested on Saturday. He appeared in federal court in Lower Manhattan on Monday, where he was charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute narcotics resulting in death.

In a criminal complaint, Paredes, 38, and his alleged co-conspirators, Grei Mendez and Carlisto Acevedo Brito, were accused of using the day care center in the Bronx to secretly stash drugs — including a kilogram of fentanyl — on children's play mats.
