Dallas couple charged with murder in fentanyl overdose death

A Dallas couple, Taylor Lambert, 29, and Matthew Clark, 38, has been charged with murder following the overdose death of 34-year-old Amber Morris in Denton, Texas, on December 27, 2024. Investigators found evidence that the couple supplied fentanyl to Morris the night before her death, which was ruled as caused by fentanyl bromazolam and diazepam toxicity. Lambert was arrested on March 12, while Clark was apprehended the following day. This incident marks the eighth fentanyl-related murder arrest in Denton since a state law went into effect on September 1, 2023, making it a crime to supply fentanyl that results in death. Both suspects are currently in jail, with Lambert's bond set at $250,000. Local resources for individuals struggling with addiction are available, including support from nonprofit organizations.
