Willmar Man Facing Federal Charges in Overdose Death

A Willmar man is facing new, federal charges related to the 2022 overdose death of a Willmar woman.

Twenty-four-year-old Hudeife Muhamed Mire was arraigned Tuesday (Jan. 6) in U.S. District Court of New York on charges of Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution.

Mire will be arraigned in Minnesota on federal charges of Conspiracy to Distribute Fentanyl Resulting in Death, Distribution of Fentanyl Resulting in Death, and Possession with the intent to distribute Fentanyl charges on a later date.

Mire was charged in 2022 following a Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Office and CEE-VI Drug and Gang Task Force investigation into the overdose death of 19-year-old Samantha Myers at a residence outside of New London.

State charges against Mire include 2nd Degree Manslaughter, 3rd Degree Murder, two counts of 1st Degree narcotics sale, and one count of 2nd Degree narcotics possession, but he fled Minnesota and the U.S. after posting bail.

He was ultimately located in Kenya and was extradited to the United States.
