Mark McCormick (Mac Miller’s Dad): “He’d come off that stage and he’d be he’d be
exhausted but he would be joyful.
But he lived one hell of a life the twenty-six years he was with us.
He made our lives so different.
I’m going to end with something your probably not going to want to hear, so they finally
caught the (silence) that sold him the (inaudible).
At 11:07 PM on September 4, 2018, hip hop artist Mac Miller would text his dealer Cameron
Pettit in an attempt to purchase various substances.
Mac Miller: “Yo!”
Cameron Pettit: “Yoo what’s up?”
Mac Miller: “Did you hear back about Adderall?”
Cameron Pettit: “Nope, couldn’t find any.”
Mac Miller: “All good.
You don’t have lean any do you?
Percs?”
Cameron Pettit: “I got some two milligram Dilaudid but that’s about it.
I could get some yellows and blues though.”
Mac Miller: “Blues as in percs?”
Cameron Pettit: “Yeah, thirty milligrams.”
Mac Miller: “Those are my favorite man!
When can you get them?”
Cameron Pettit: “Probably in an hour or two.
They are $30 each.”
Mac Miller: “Any chance I could get ten of those, ten bars, and a ball?”
Cameron Pettit: “Yeah for sure!
I will get back to you when I’m about to pick them up.”
Mac Miller: “Fasho.
Could you actually drop them off at the studio?”
Cameron Pettit: “Yeah, where at?”
Mac Miller: “I’m at Conway.
Let me send you the address.
655 North St. Andrews Place.”
Cameron Pettit: “Ok.”
Mac Miller: “Is that far from you?”
Cameron Pettit: “Not too far.
I can make it” Mac Miller: “Okay word.
Let me know when you are on the way.”
Cameron Pettit: “Ok, I will.”
Mac Miller: “What time are you thinking?”
Cameron Pettit: “Probably 1 AM.”
Mac Miller: “That’s for the blues too?
Could you come through with the other stuff earlier?”
Cameron Pettit: “Yeah that’s for all of it.
I’m going to pick them up right now.”
Mac Miller: “Actually I can wait lol.
Beautiful.”
Cameron Pettit: “Ok, sweet.”
These text messages show Cameron Pettit agreeing to provide Mac Miller with ten Oxycodone pills,
ten Xanax pills, and some cocaine.
This transaction was scheduled to take place at around 1 AM on September 5, 2018 at the
Conway Recording Studios located at 655 North St. Andrews Place.
At 12:56 AM, just four minutes before the scheduled exchange, Mac Miller would once
again send a message to Cameron Pettit saying “Yo, yo.”
Eight minutes later at 1:04 AM, Mac Miller would send Cameron Pettit another text message
asking “Where are you at?”
Mac Miller would then follow up with a third text message containing a single question
mark.
After waiting around for another eight minutes and still no reply from Cameron, Mac Miller
would begin to text message Mia Johansson, the woman who introduced Mac to Cameron.
Mac Miller: “Cam is supposed to be pulling up but he’s not answering.”
Mia Johansson: “I don’t know hun.”
Mac Miller: “Is there anybody else with the stuff.”
Mia Johansson: “I can send some with a girl lol.”
Mac Miller: “I need a few things.”
Mia Johansson: “I have everything lol.”
Mac Miller: “Snow bars and blue percs?”
Mia Johansson: “I have it all.”
Mac Miller: “Do you have lean too?”
Mia Johansson: “No lean lol, but I have Adderall and oxy.”
Mac Miller: “Percs?”
Mia Johansson: “I have norco.”
Mac Miller: “What milligram are the oxy and norco?”
Mia Johansson: “The oxy’s are thirty milligrams and the norco is ten milligrams.”
Mac Miller: “So the oxy’s are little?”
Mia Johansson: “Yes, it’s a little blue pill.”
Mac Miller: “Can I get five of those, five bars, and a gram of snow?”
Mia Johansson: “Yes.
The thirty milligram oxy is $30 each, the bars are $5 each, the ten milligram norco
is $10 each and I’ll give you the gram for free if you book a girl.”
Mac Miller: “What about two grams?”
Mia Johansson: “Deal lol.”
Mac Miller: “What girls are available?”
Mia Johansson: “Karla is ready.”
Mac Miller: “So what will my total be?
Send me a picture of the oxy too.”
Mac Miller: “How long would all this take to arrive?”
Mia Johansson: “Thirty minutes.”
Mac Miller: “I’m at 655 St. Andrews.”
Mia Johansson: “With the girl lol?”
Mac Miller: “What’s the total of everything else?”
Mia Johansson: “$1,025.”
Mac Miller: “Send through.”
Mia Johansson: “South or North St. Andrews?”
Mac Miller: “North.”
Mia Johansson: “Karla is thirty-one minutes away.”
These text messages between the two show Mia Johansson agreeing to provide Mac Miller with
five Oxycodone pills, five Xanax bars, ten Adderall pills, five Hydrocodone pills, and
two grams of cocaine.
The total of all of this would come out to $1,025 and was going to be delivered to Mac
Miller by a woman named Karla Amador, a prostitute who also goes under the name Carolina Cortez
in the adult entertainment industry.
Fifteen minutes after Mac Miller finished talking to Mia Johansson, Cameron Pettit would
proceed to text Mac Miller saying “Sorry.
I got sidetracked.
Coming now.”
Mac Miller would quickly reply back saying “Fasho.”
Then at 2:25 AM, Cameron Pettit would arrive at Conway Recording Studios and allegedly
give Mac Miller the substances discussed in their earlier text messages.
Shortly after, Karla Amador would also allegedly arrive at Conway Recording Studios with the
substances Mac Miller inquired about in his text messages with Mia Johansson.
Moments later, Mia Johansson would text message Mac Miller asking what payment method he is
going to use to pay for her products and services.
Mia Johansson: “How are you going to send the money, Cash App or Venmo?
Are you going to send it tonight or tomorrow?”
Mac Miller: “I’ll handle it tomorrow.”
Mia Johansson: “Ok.
Do you want to extend your time with Karla for an hour?”
Mac Miller: “Yes please.”
Mia Johansson: “Ok, cool.
We will just handle the money tomorrow.”
Mac Miller and Karla Amador would then proceed to spend the rest of the night together.
The next morning, Mia Johansson would once again text message Mac Miller further explaining
the new cost for Karla Amador’s services as well as clarifying the prices for the substances
provided.
Mac Miller would respond shortly after explaining that he only meant to have Karla Amador’s
services for an extra hour but got sidetracked.
Two days later on September 7, 2018, Mac Miller’s personal assistant, Sam Motavassel would be
doing his daily check up on Mac Miller at his San Fernando Valley, California home only
to find Mac Miller unresponsive in a praying position on his bed at around 11:30 AM that
morning.
Sam Motavassel would then quickly begin to call 911 who ultimately instructed Sam to
move Mac Miller’s body to floor and perform CPR.
Mac Miller was sadly pronounced dead sixteen minutes after that call.
Immediately after Mac Miller’s sudden death, detectives began investigating the crime scene
where they ended up finding a plastic bag in a coat pocket in Mac Miller’s bathroom.
Inside the plastic bag were all but five of the pills he purchased from both Cameron Pettit
and Mia Johansson.
These pills would soon be brought in for testing where it would be revealed that all of the
substances provided by Mia Johansson and Karla Amador were real and authentic while Cameron
Pettit’s Oxycodone would test positive for Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that
is fifty times more potent than heroin.
Out of the five pills Mac Miller consumed, four were the counterfeit Oxycodone pills
that Cameron Pettit allegedly supplied.
This would later be confirmed after post-mortem toxicology results would show that Mac Miller
died from mixed drug toxicity involving Fentanyl, cocaine, and ethanol.
The news about Mac Miller’s death would soon begin to spread all over the internet
with multiple media outlets reporting the story.
Shortly after the news broke, Cameron Pettit would begin to direct message an individual
the feds nicknamed “P.R.” on Instagram.
Cameron Pettit: “Hi.”
P.R.: “You good?”
Cameron Pettit: “I am not great.”
P.R.: “Talk to me.”
Cameron Pettit: “Most likely, I will die in jail.”
P.R.: “I’ve been worried about you all day.
Don’t say that.”
Cameron Pettit: “Yeah.
Dang-it.”
P.R.: “What do you mean?
You’re just paranoid.”
Cameron Pettit: “Nothing has happened yet, but it might and I’m nervous.”
P.R: “Yeah, don’t think negatively, ok.
Try not to stress.
I feel like it’s going to be ok.
It’s not your fault.”
Cameron Pettit: “I’m gonna get off the grid.
Move to another country.
What should my name be?”
P.R.: “Are you really?
Like do you honestly think it’s that serious?
Your name should be sweet baby dang daddy.
Let’s move to Stockholm.”
Cameron Pettit: “Yes.
Ok, maybe.
I don’t know yet I will probably know tomorrow.”
P.R.: “Can you please keep me posted I’m worried about you.”
Cameron Pettit: “Yeah.”
Cameron Pettit would then go on to direct message another individual on Instagram with
this person being nicknamed “A.G” asking whether or not he should post a text conversation
he had with Mac Miller on his Instagram account.
Cameron Pettit would end up answering that question himself by stating “I think I should
probably not post anything… just to be smart.”
Over the next year, detectives would continue to investigate the death of Mac Miller and
would begin to assume that Cameron Pettit purchased the counterfeit Oxycodone pills
that Mac Miller consumed from Stephen Walter, a forty-six year old man from Westwood who
has had previous run ins with the law that resulted in convictions for charges such as
possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession of cocaine base for sale, and unlawful
possession of a firearm by a felon.
These pills would then allegedly be delivered to Cameron Pettit by a thirty-six year old
man named Ryan Reavis, a man who authorities claim was a resident of West Los Angeles,
California but quickly relocated to Lake Havasu, Arizona following the death of Mac Miller.
It was also revealed that one month after the death of Mac Miller, Cameron Pettit requested
to purchase more Oxycodone pills from Stephen Walter which Walter would agree to provide.
In addition to that, it was also alleged that Ryan Reavis was involved in more drug trafficking
activities in June.
These claims are backed up by a text message sent by Ryan Reavis to an unknown individual
while negotiating a drug deal.
The text message states “People have been dying from fake blues left and right, you
better believe law enforcement is using informants and undercover police officers to buy them
on the street, so they can start putting people in prison for life for selling fake pills.”
This would allegedly indicate that all three of these individuals would continue to sell
a dangerous substance even after the death of Mac Miller, while also being fully aware
of the risks their products could bring to potential customers.
Then on September 4, 2019, exactly one year after the night he agreed to supply Mac Miller
with Oxycodone, Cameron Pettit was arrested on federal charges regarding the distribution
of narcotics.
Nineteen days later, Stephen Walter was arrested on similar charges alleging the conspiracy
to distribute narcotics.
Three days after Stephen Walters arrest, the DEA raided Ryan Reavis’ home in Lake Havasu,
Arizona where they would uncover prescription pills, guns, and ammunition.
Ryan Reavis would also be brought into custody with similar charges shortly after.
Cameron Pettit, Stephen Walter, and Ryan Reavis are due in court for trial on November 16,
2021.
All three men are facing potential life sentences.
