The mother of Tiffany Reeves says pure fentanyl took her daughter's life.

"They will not question anyone. They will not talk to anyone. They told me I have to wait six months for answers. I want to know who took my daughter, Tiffany Reeves. I want justice for my child," said Monica Reeves.

"No one gives a damn. It seems to be this city is hush-hush, throw it under the rug," said Rabbi Michael Ben Yosef, Chicago Activist Coalition for Justice.

An autopsy ruled it an accidental fentanyl overdose.
