Federal court documents have revealed that two University of Mississippi students,identified as Hamilton and Strang, had the same three substances in their bloodstreams at the time of their deaths on September 21 . These substances, including Schedule 1 controlled substances MGM-15 and MGPI, were found in Smax-Mango Breeze pills linked to an Oxford tobacco shop.
The MGM-15 and MGPI substances found in Smax-Mango Breeze pills
Toxicology reports for the deceased students, Hamilton and Strang, show the presence of highly regulated chemicals in their systems. According to federal court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, the bloodstreams of both students contained the Schedule 1 controlled substances MGM-15 and MGPI, alongside a third unidentified substance.
Investigators have directly linked these specific chemicals to Smax-Mango Breeze pills. At the time of their deaths in Oxford, Mississippi, investigators determined that both students were in possession of these specific pills. The presence of these synthetic compoundds suggests a direct connection between the consumption of the Smax products and the fatal overdoses.
The $39.99 price tag and the search of Puffs
The narcotics investigation has centered on Puffs, a local tobacco shop in Oxford, following the deaths of the two students. During a court-authorized search of the premises, agents discovered Smax Mango Breeze MGM-15 products that matched the exact packaging, ingredients, and even the price tag of $39.99 found near the victims. Investigators even noted a specific smudge on the number 9 of the price tag on the seized packaging.
The investigation led to the arrest of 51-year-old Yahya Mohamed Mosleh and his 18-year-old son, Islam Mohamed Mosleh. Court documents allege that Yahya Mosleh sold the students the product while hiding it inside a locked container.. This move was particularly significant as the product in question had reportedly been banned by local ordinance for more than four years. While Islam Mosleh was released on a $20,000 unsecured bond,Yahya remains in custody after a federal judge identified him as a flight risk.
Yahya Mosleh's warning to a confidential informant
The legal filings suggest a troubling pattern of behavior regarding the known lethality of the products being sold at Puffs. As reported by Fox News correspondent Madeleine Rivera, court documents note that Yahya Mosleh made a sale of the products to a confidential informant even after the deaths of Strang and Hamilton.
During this transaction, Yahya allegedly warned the informant that people had been dying from similar products and advised them to be careful. Despite this admission of danger, the sale was completed. The documents further state that Yahya attempted to conceal the transaction from other third parties who entered the store, only finalizing the sale once the shop was clear of other customers.
The search for the store owner in Egypt
While the Moslehs face federal charges, the primary owner of the Puffs tobacco shop remains at large. The owner, who was indicted by a Lafayette County grand jury years ago for the distribution of a controlled substance, has absconded and is believed to be operating the store remotely from Egypt.
This evasion of local law enforcement leaves several critical questions unanswered. It remains unclear how a product banned for four years continued to be sold in a local shop,and whether the owner's reote management facilitated the distribution of these Schedule 1 substances. furthermore, authorities have yet to confirm if other students or residents in the Oxford area have been affected by the same Smax-Mango Breeze pills.
