SEATTLE — A Seattle man accused of selling heroin has been charged with controlled substance homicide in the drug overdose death of a 19-year-old in Bellevue.
King County prosecutors say Adam F. Pepka, 20, sold the heroin that killed Zachary Lyter, a former Issaquah High School football player. His body was found May 4 by his father at their home.
The seattlepi.com reported that charging documents filed earlier this month in Seattle say Pepka continued to sell heroin after Lyter’s death.
