WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — A man was arrested Thursday on a murder charge in connection with a December fentanyl overdose death.

According to law enforcement officials, Kreli Haynes was arrested by U.S. Marshals and the Cedar Park Police Department on a warrant out of Williamson County.

The warrant was issued in connection with an incident where a 16-year-old boy in Leander was found dead from an alleged fentanyl overdose.

Court records didn’t list an attorney for Haynes. This story will be updated when that information is received and if a statement on behalf of Haynes is provided.

Law enforcement said an investigation linked Haynes to the sale of the fentanyl, which later led to his arrest.

Haynes also faces additional charges of possession of a controlled substance and the unlawful carrying of a firearm.

Microsoft bans US police departments from using enterprise AI tool for facial recognition
Microsoft has reaffirmed its ban on U.S. police departments from using generative AI for facial recognition through Azure OpenAI Service, the company's fully managed, enterprise-focused wrapper around OpenAI tech. Language added Wednesday to the terms of service for Azure OpenAI Service more obviously prohibits integrations with Azure OpenAI Service from being used "by or for" police departments for facial recognition in the U.S., including integrations with OpenAI's current -- and perhaps future -- image-analyzing models. A separate new bullet point covers "any law enforcement globally," and explicitly bars the use of "real-time facial recognition technology" on mobile cameras, like body cameras and dashcams, to attempt to identify a person in "uncontrolled, in-the-wild" environments.
