Ole Miss Toxicology Reports Due Next Week as Oxford Raid Nets 2 Narcotics Arrests

Summary
Next week is the earliest toxicology results could arrive in the deaths of Ole Miss students Robert Strang, 20, and Aidan Hamilton, 18, as Mississippi officials fast-track testing that usually takes weeks.
Narcotics detectives are involved in both death investigations, but authorities said they have found no indication of foul play so far and have not ruled it out pending autopsies, statements and other evidence.
Two Oxford residents — Yahya Mohamed Mosleh, 51, and Islam Mohamed, 18 — were arrested after a raid on Puffs Vape, Tobacco and Beer Store allegedly uncovered more than 500 units of Kratom plus THC cartridges, gummies and other suspected narcotics.
That raid has not been tied to the student deaths, though investigators previously found kratom packages at both scenes and said it is still too early to know whether kratom, fentanyl or another drug was involved.
Mississippi officials said Parker's Law could support charges if fentanyl is confirmed as the cause, while students have also circulated warnings about Cychlorphine, a potent synthetic opioid.
