Fentanyl overdoses have become a leading cause of death for minors in the U.S. More than 74,000 people will die from a synthetic opioid in 2023 , CDC says.
Brandon McDowell has been behind bars since 2022 with a fentanyl possession conviction.
Alexandra 's father: "We've won the battle but not the war. We still have a long ways to go".
Brandon McDowell was being held at the federal prison in San Pedro during the lawsuit.
"I think that's sad, that shouldn't be allowed," Justin McDowell said.
"We'll wait for him to get out of prison, give him a hug, and figure out how to deal with the situation," he said.
