(KNSI) — A Willmar man will finally face justice for his alleged role in a 2022 fentanyl overdose death, after he had previously fled the country while out on bail.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and U.S Marshals Service hunted 24-year-old Hudeife Muhamed Mire for years, eventually locating him on October 31st, 2025, in Kajiado, Kenya. He was extradited back to the U.S. and, on January 6th, was arraigned in the U.S. District Court of New York for fleeing the country to avoid prosecution. In Minnesota, he’ll face federal charges for dealing fentanyl resulting in death and possession of fentanyl.
Mire was charged in 2022 following an investigation by the Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Office and the CEE-VI Drug and Gang Task Force into the death of 19-year-old Samantha Myers at a home near New London.
