Livermore police on Wednesday arrested a 22-year-old man on suspicion of homicide and child abuse causing death after his 23-month-old daughter died in August with a toxic level of fentanyl in her system.
Police arrested 22-year-old Justin Pittman of Livermore, who was supposed to be taking care of the girl the day she died. Livermore police say Pittman admitted he's a fentanyl addict.
At 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 18, officers responded to a report of a 23-month-old not breathing in the 200 block of Turnstone Drive. They found the child unresponsive and tried performing life-saving measures until relieved by paramedics. The girl was pronounced dead at the hospital. After an autopsy revealed the girl had fentanyl in her blood at the time of her death, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office issued a warrant for Pittman's arrest.
