DEA Links Oxford Vape Shop to Student Fatalities
1 Oct
Summary
- Two vape store clerks face federal drug charges.
- Investigators traced purchases to students before their deaths.
- Over 500 suspected kratom products were seized.
Two clerks at a Mississippi vape shop are now facing federal drug charges related to the deaths of two students. Yahya Mohamed Mosleh and Islam Yahya Mosleh were arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute, according to court documents. The charges stem from an investigation that traced purchases made by the deceased students back to the Puffs Vape Tobacco & Beer store and another location. Investigators described conducting undercover purchases and successfully seizing more than 500 suspected kratom-related products from the Oxford vape shop. These products were allegedly linked to the students before their deaths. As of September 25, authorities were awaiting final toxicology results from the medical examiner to confirm the substances involved in the students' fatalities. The investigation remains active.
