Five people have been indicted in a sprawling case involving allegations of fentanyl trafficking, with a fatal overdose being tied to one of the suspects.

Brayan Torres, 19, was charged last week by the grand jury in Warren County with second-degree manslaughter, 34 counts of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (fentanyl), first-degree unlawful transaction with a minor and engaging in organized crime.

Torres is accused of wantonly causing the death of Acacia Rose Martinez, 18, of Bowling Green, on Jan. 21 from a suspected overdose.

According to prior court testimony, Martinez and Torres spent a substantial amount of time together on Jan. 21 before she traveled home.

Torres was arrested Jan. 31 by the Bowling Green-Warren County Drug Task Force, which developed intelligence that allegedly implicated Torres in the use and distribution of fentanyl and conducted surveillance on Torres’ residence just before his arrest.

At the time of his arrest, Torres was charged with reckless homicide and a single count of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, before the grand jury added several additional counts.

Torres was arraigned Monday in Warren Circuit Court, where a public defender was appointed to represent him and a not guilty plea entered on his behalf.

Warren Circuit Judge Chris Cohron set a pretrial conference in Torres’ case for May 27.

Torres is being held in Warren County Regional Jail under a $150,000 cash bond.

In addition to Torres, drug task force agents arrested Reath David Khan, 23, and Mut David Khan, 28, as part of the initial investigation.

The grand jury indicted Reath Khan on 15 counts of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (fentanyl), receiving stolen property (firearm), first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (fentanyl, firearm enhanced), possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and engaging in organized crime.

When police arrested Torres, he was getting into a vehicle driven by Reath Khan.

WCDTF Detective Kyle Laing testified at a February preliminary hearing in Warren District Court that a package containing about 2.4 grams of suspected fentanyl was recovered, along with a handgun, from the vehicle.

Police also recovered a hotel room key card that led detectives to Khan’s brother, Mut Khan.

Detectives obtained a search warrant for the hotel room where Mut Khan was found, and seized about 8.5 grams of suspected fentanyl, 2.4 grams of suspected crack cocaine, about a pound of marijuana and more than $1,000, Laing testified in February.

Mut Khan was indicted last week on charges of engaging in organized crime, first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (fentanyl), first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (cocaine), trafficking in marijuana, intimidating a participant in the legal process and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Two people who were not arrested Jan. 31 by task force detectives have also been indicted as part of the investigation.

Jonathan Shizirungo, 27, of Bowling Green, was formally charged with 10 counts of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (fentanyl) and engaging in organized crime, while Kayyanah Shakia Smith, 20, of Bowling Green, has been indicted on five counts of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (fentanyl) and engaging in organized crime.

Smith was arraigned Monday in Warren Circuit Court and has a pretrial conference set for May 27.

The organized crime charge against each of the five co-defendants alleges that they conspired throughout the month of January in Bowling Green to illegally sell drugs.
