NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — A family continues to be frustrated more than a year after a loved one died from a fentanyl overdose in Norfolk, saying authorities didn’t do enough to catch the suspect.

William Maupin was 18. His sister, Mikaela Campbell, said he thought he was taking half a Percocet at the time, but “there was no Percocet in his system. It was fentanyl and Bromazolam,” Campbell said.

She said William wasn’t a “druggie,” but rather, a person with aspirations and plans.

“He had big goals, big dreams and he would have been able to meet them if he hadn’t have died,” Campbell said. “He was the smartest kid, ever. He just didn’t always make the best decisions.”

Campbell said Norfolk Police recently closed William’s case without making an arrest and believes they had plenty of evidence. She offered to be an informant, gaining the trust of the drug dealer, who she found through William’s cash app.

“There’s one transaction the night he died that was consistent with the amount of the drug deal,” Campbell said. “And the person, he had sold to someone else who passed away as well.”

She said they’ve been kept in the dark by police.

“They really haven’t sent any information to us like we’ve been requesting,” Campbell said. “And my mom has the right to that, as his next of kin.”

She feels like police were not serious about making an arrest.

“It’s frustrating and disappointing to not know what they did and didn’t do, and if they did the most they could, or if they just pushed it to the backburner,” Campbell said.

She’s hopeful others will see justice. State lawmakers just passed a bill that will charge a drug dealer with involuntary manslaughter if a sale leads to a death.

“It’s great that we have a governor who cares, and it’s not just what people see as drug addicts dying,” she said. “Our governor has done a lot to make strides towards combatting the epidemic of the fentanyl crisis.”

10 On Your Side has reached out to the Norfolk Police Department about this case. They’ve said they will get back to us.

Campbell’s mom said she hopes to start a foundation helping teens and adults who suffer with addiction. She’d like to help win a grant to go to school to learn a trade and realize their dream.
