Dear <strong>First</strong> Partner Siebel Newsom,<br />

My son, Adrian De Jesus, was only 19 years old when he was murdered <strong>and</strong><br />

poisoned by fentanyl which shattered our lives forever. He was a very special,<br />

extraordinary, kind, <strong>and</strong> talented young man. He believed in God <strong>and</strong> had the most<br />

beautiful energy <strong>and</strong> smile. He had a beautiful life. He was so loved by his family<br />

<strong>and</strong> friends. He was the baby of the family <strong>and</strong> we adored him! His passion in life<br />

was music. He had big goals <strong>and</strong> dreams that he didn’t get to fulfill because his life<br />

was cut too short.<br />

He loved to write music, he was a poet, <strong>and</strong> his dream was to send a message to<br />

the world through music. He wanted to be the ONE who would make a difference in<br />

our family so we could be financially secure. Adrian suffered from ADHD, anxiety,<br />

insomnia, <strong>and</strong> depression. The medication the doctor’s prescribed him made him<br />

feel stiff like a robot, he didn’t like that feeling <strong>and</strong> had stopped taking the<br />

medication. He struggled with this illness, <strong>and</strong> I believe he had started to selfmedicate,<br />

which I was unaware of.<br />

On the evening of February 10, 2020, as I later read messages on his phone, after<br />

his death, Adrian wanted to write music <strong>and</strong> told a friend on a text message, he was<br />

going to buy a Percocet pill to be able to focus <strong>and</strong> write music. That night Adrian<br />

reached out to a dealer he found on Snapchat <strong>and</strong> purchased what he believed to<br />

be Percocet, a prescription painkiller. Instead, the drug dealer risked his life by<br />

delivering a counterfeit Percocet pill containing a lethal amount of illicit fentanyl.<br />

Adrian ingested the pill <strong>and</strong> later went to sleep. The morning of February 11, 2020,<br />

Adrian NEVER woke up! After numerous attempts to resuscitate him by family <strong>and</strong><br />

paramedics, he was gone. The coroners came to pick him up <strong>and</strong> my family <strong>and</strong> I<br />

were beyond devastated, crying, <strong>and</strong> screaming uncontrollably, heartbroken <strong>and</strong> in<br />

disbelief! We had no idea what had happened to Adrian, why such a sudden death?<br />

He was always very cautious about everything. At first, I thought he might’ve had a<br />

heart attack or an aneurism, but when I received the toxicology report it showed NO<br />

Percocet in his system, there was only pure illicit fentanyl in that M30 fake pill! It<br />

killed him instantly. Adrian didn’t have a chance, he was poisoned, he was deceived<br />

to death!<br />

I always dreamed of seeing my son graduate from High School, I never imagined I’d<br />

be walking for him to receive his diploma. I wasn’t supposed to bury my child, he<br />

was supposed to bury me! My heart is shattered into a million pieces <strong>and</strong> this<br />

tragedy has forever broken our family apart. Our lives will NEVER be the same<br />

without Adrian! I will never see my son walking through my front door, calling me<br />
