LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A Lincoln man will stand trial in a fatal fentanyl overdose.

Court documents allege that in August 2023, Mikaya sold a 27-year-old man a bag of pills.
The pills were labeled “M30,” which is oxycodone,” but were actually fentanyl, police said.
The man died at a home in Lincoln after taking at least one of the pills, an arrest affidavit says.
Mikaya was arrested in June. He is being held on a $750,000 bond.
His arraignment in Lancaster County District Court is scheduled for Oct. 9.
