Police said that Christine, a restaurant worker, was reportedly given a "green pill" by the men. Collier confessed that he witnessed Taylor, his college roommate, give the pill that he believed to be Percocet to Christine before they were seen entering the hotel with the staggering woman around 1 a.m. Thursday. Now authorities believe that the "green pill" actually contained fentanyl and the two men could face upgraded homicide charges. The two men were originally only facing charges of burglary with battery, sexual battery, petty theft, and the fraudulent use of a credit card. NBC Miami reports that an alarming Miami-Dade Medical Examiner's report released on Monday could change that and the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office said Monday that they are investigating homicide charges.
