Man Sentenced in California's First Fentanyl-Homicide Case Gets Called a 'Piece of ****' by Victim's Dad

A man who was convicted in California's first fentanyl-related homicide case was sentenced to 15 years to life behind bars. This comes as Vicente David Romero, 34, was found guilty of second-degree murder in the fentanyl-poisoning death of Kelsey King.

King's death may have happened back in June 2020, but the pain appeared to have not subsided one bit for the victim's father, who spoke in court Friday.

"How do I tell her children that, ‘Your mother is dead because a worthless piece of (Profanity) wanted to have sex with her and slipped her poison that killed her within three minutes,'" said Tim King, Kelsey's father. During the hearings prior to sentencing, Romero, who is from Temecula, had told authorities at the time of the investigations that he gave King a pill known as M30. Romero also admitted during the investigation that he knew the pill contained fentanyl.

I once considered myself a ‘classic’ conservative libertarian, but it’s proven pointless to make the distinction between that and the modern Libertarian platform. It’s more practical to frame my perspective as a small govt conservative.

Regarding the father, I have no problem with the summary execution of dealers — I suppose given the ceremonial legalities.

For those wondering-

she was 26yo-

he provided the pill and they both took half of it.

I think if he was better father,

she wouldn’t be out drugging with this piece of crap.

I had some fentynal a few months ago. Just enough to knock me clean cold out. (Iningual hernia surgery) ( the anesthesia woman was hot, I would have let her do anything to me).

Why first?
There are hundreds of thousands deaths from Fentanyl. I would expect thousands of Fentanyl murderers behind bars by now!

You’re a P.O.S. to say that. You have no idea what kind of father he is.
You’re just the kind of lowlife who goes around feeding off of other peoples misery.

Stop twisting scripture, lest yea become satan.

Face it, she was a grown woman, who chose to take an unknown substance. She died, she chose poorly.

The supplier got 15 years. Killing him wont bring her back. He may turn his life around.

And that was a highly trained professional. A pill from a Mexican stoner has a lot more risk.

"How do I tell her children that, ‘Your mother is dead because she wanted to have sex with a worthless piece of **** and she voluntarily took poison that killed her within three minutes,'" said Tim King, Kelsey's father.

There...fixed it.

He’s the pos. No one slipped her anything.

She made a conscious choice to go out drugging with an older man.

That’s daddy issues in flashing neon.

You are a spilt christian. on one hand you call someone a pos, on the other your tag line takes scripture out of text. Its very telling of whom you serve. Like you ,satan can quote the bible when it suits his purpose.
