Matt Capelouto’s daughter Alexandra was poisoned by a counterfeit pharmaceutical pill laced with fentanyl in December 2019, a tragedy that spurred his family to become advocates for ending the fentanyl crisis.

Capelouto founded a nonprofit—Stop Drug Homicides—with a goal of preventing other families from experiencing the pain that they have endured.
