“As alleged, Paredes had an instrumental role in this conspiracy and is charged with narcotics distribution and death in connection with the poisoning of four children,” DEA Special Agent in Charge Frank A. Tarentino III said. “The alleged drugs and materials seized in the trap are indicative of a prolific drug packaging operation. Traffickers often hide contraband in inconspicuous or unsuspecting locations with no regard for the safety of others.
Grei Mendez, 36, who ran the day care out of her apartment, was charged with murder on Saturday. Carlisto Acevedo Brito, who rented a room in the apartment and who police say is related to Mendez’s husband, was also charged with murder. During a search of Paredes' apartment, investigators found tools used to prepare and distribute narcotics, including strainers, a grinder, and digital scales, officials said. Investigators also found what appeared to be two clear Ziplock bags filled with a gray powder and a brick-shaped package, both of which appeared to contain narcotics, according to authorities.
