A drug dealer who was part of a gang that sold The Wire actor Michael K. Williams a deadly mix of heroin and fentanyl has been sentenced to 30 months behind bars.

Federal Judge Ronnie Abrams handed down the sentence Tuesday for Carlos Macci, 71, who pleaded guilty to narcotics conspiracy in federal court in April.

Macci was a member of a gang that sold Williams ‘fentanyl-laced heroin’ on September 5, 2021, which the actor died from taking. He was 54 years old.

His accomplices, Irvin Caragena, Luiz Cruz and Hector Robles have also pleaded guilty in the deadly drug deal, and The Wire co-creator David Simon has begged for leniency in Macci’s case.

But on Tuesday, Abrams told the elderly convict: ‘Selling drugs like heroin and fentanyl not only cost Mr. Williams his life, but is costing you your freedom.’
