Cocaine Kills Brother

(North Charleston, South Carolina) A 23-year-old local man, Deangelo Mitchell, has been accused of involuntary manslaughter in the death of his brother, Wayne Mitchell, 20.

On November 30, Deangelo Mitchell is accused of convincing his younger brother to consume a lethal amount of cocaine hidden in his buttocks after a traffic stop for a busted tail light.

The pair was handcuffed and put into the back of a squad car, police said. The video then shows Deangelo panic over his arrest, and beg his brother to help.

"Eat that sh*t, so I can get out," he says in the video. "One of us gotta do it, you the only one that don't have any strikes... You my little brother... I'm gonna get life."

The 20-year-old eventually gives in. Deangelo can be seen removing something from his backside, then Wayne leans down and eats the drugs, police said.

"I love you, bro," Wayne says in the video after consuming the narcotic.

A short time later, he was dead.

Beyond the almost comical stupidity, this case is really sad. The younger brother likely revered his older sibling throughout life, knowing that he would help and protect him. Instead, Deangelo used his brother like a sacrificial pawn.
