A Sacramento homeless man is facing murder charges for allegedly providing a lethal dose of fentanyl that killed a Rocklin, California, father in July.

State and local authorities arrested Brandon Garner, 42, a transient from Sacramento, on Oct. 26. He appeared in court the same day but did not enter a plea and is being held in the Placer County jail without bail.
