“My life went dark the moment Malcolm left his world. Malcolm was my person, more than a son,” Mac Miller’s mom, Karen Meyers, said in a victim impact statement
“My life went dark the moment Malcolm left his world. Malcolm was my person, more than a son. We had a bond and kinship that was deep and special and irreplaceable. We spoke nearly every day about everything – his life, plans, music, dreams,” the statement said.
Before he was sentenced, Reavis, 39, told the court he was unaware the pills provided caused the musician’s death until he was arrested in Arizona a year later in September 2019. Assistant U.S. Attorney Elia Herrera also told Judge Otis that a recovered text message Reavis sent to an associate in June 2019 showed he was still selling pills nearly a year after Miller’s death, clearly cognizant that fentanyl was a problem. In the text, Reavis was upset that the associate connected him to a potential drug customer who was a man posing as someone named Jenny while trying to buy eight oxycodone pills known as “blues” from him.
In addition to his prison time, Reavis also was sentenced to three years of supervised release with drug testing.
