Mother Arrested in Baby’s Fentanyl Overdose Death
A heartbreaking incident has unfolded in Florida, leading to the arrest of 33-year-old Kacy Kincaid after her 9-month-old baby boy succumbed to a fentanyl overdose in October. The Ocala Police Department announced on social media that Kincaid is now facing an aggravated manslaughter of a child charge in connection with the tragic death, and she was taken into custody on January 24.
The investigation commenced on October 12 when Ocala police officers responded to Advent Health regarding the infant, who was later pronounced deceased. At that time, the cause of the baby’s death was unclear, but the police discovered that Kincaid had 5 grams of fentanyl in her possession. Attempts to interview her proved challenging, as she appeared to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol and was unable to engage in coherent conversation, leading to her arrest on a felony trafficking charge.
A subsequent report from the Medical Examiner’s Office revealed that the baby had died from fentanyl, methamphetamine, and xylazine toxicity. Kincaid’s blood sample also tested positive for fentanyl, along with other substances. The 5 grams of fentanyl found in her possession showed the presence of the same xylazine compound found in the child’s blood during the autopsy.
Detective Kern, leading the investigation, determined there was sufficient probable cause to arrest Kincaid for the death of her child. During the inquiry, law enforcement interviewed a relative who shared a home with Kincaid. The relative found Kincaid drunk and asleep in her bed and discovered the baby in the bed as well, appearing to be sleeping peacefully.
An argument between Kincaid and the relative about her drinking ensued, leading the relative to move to their room with the baby. Later, when attempting to move the baby, the relative found the infant ‘stiff,’ prompting CPR before rushing the baby to the hospital.
Kincaid is currently incarcerated in the Marion County jail with no set bond.
