SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A man was arrested Wednesday in connection with a Sacramento woman's fentanyl overdose in December 2023, police said.
According to the Sacramento Police Department, 31-year-old Kyle Lawrence Firebaugh was arrested on suspicion of homicide and felony narcotics sales. He was booked into Sacramento County Main Jail early Thursday morning.
The arrest comes almost one year after the fentanyl overdose of 32-year-old Bianca Bewley. Police say Bewley was found dead in her home on 34th Avenue, and Firebaugh allegedly communicated with her about fentanyl in the days leading up to her death.
“This case underscores the deadly threat fentanyl poses in our community,” said Sacramento Police Chief Kathy Lester. "Our detectives, alongside the Sacramento County DA’s Office, have worked tirelessly to hold those responsible accountable. Fentanyl is not just a drug — it’s a dangerous and lethal substance, and this arrest reflects our continued commitment to fighting its presence on our streets."
Firebaugh is ineligible for bail and expected to appear Monday, Oct. 28 in Sacramento County Superior Court, jail records show.
