The parents of a 1-year-old girl who died after ingesting fentanyl at a Brighton home on just the second day of 2022 face first degree murder charges in a case that illustrates the drug's pernicious hold in Colorado, which has seen a dramatic spike in overdose cases over the years, particularly from opioid abuse. 'Fentanyl is literally killing children from every age group,' 17th Judicial District Attorney Brian Mason said at a press conference from his Brighton office Thursday.The toddler was the first of five Colorado children to die of fentanyl-involved poisoning this year.
