The apartment complex made headlines two years ago after “The Wire” actor Michael K. Williams was found dead in his penthouse apartment
Williams died of an overdose of heroin containing fentanyl.
From 2002 to 2008, Williams played Omar Little, a renegade drug dealer, on the hit HBO series The Wire.
In addition to his work on the critically acclaimed drama, Williams also starred in films and other television series such as Boardwalk Empire.
Williams’ death sparked a months-long investigation into a Brooklyn drug ring that was linked to the actor’s overdose. It turned out that Irvin Cartagena, known as “Green Eyes”, was the ringleader.
Video surveillance captured the moment Cartagena handed Williams the drugs a day before the actor’s death.
Moments earlier, Williams handed the man a wad of cash, and Cartagena could be seen counting the bills before reaching into a paper bag that was next to a blue recycling bin outside the apartment.
The actor was found unconscious and face down in the living room of Williams’ Williamsburg apartment the next day by his nephew. He was pronounced dead by paramedics who rushed to the scene.
Cartagena, who had been arrested twice previously on drug charges but was released on guard duty under New York’s bail reform, was arrested in Puerto Rico five months after Williams’ death.
