Man charged in drug-related death

A Minneapolis man has been charged with third-degree murder in connection with a Watertown woman’s death, according to the Carver County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said deputies responded March 23 at 5:55 p.m. to a medical involving an unresponsive adult female in the 200 block of Westminster Avenue NW in Watertown. Olivia Rose Zorbas, 19, was discovered deceased. Deputies noticed evidence of recent intravenous drug use and suspected that Zorbas had overdosed on controlled substances.
Deputies obtained a search warrant and a search of the premises revealed an uncapped syringe, packing material consistent with drug packaging and a make-shift tourniquet. Deputies also discovered a white powder that tested positive for fentanyl, a controlled substance.
Upon further investigation, deputies learned the identity of a suspect who is believed to have sold Zorbas the controlled substances. On March 26, deputies found and arrested the suspect, Deon Lee Hillard, 29, of Minneapolis. He is currently being held in the Carver County Jail.
Zorbas’ body was taken to the Midwest Examiner’s Office for an autopsy.
Ridgeview Ambulance and the Watertown Fire Department assisted the sheriff’s office in responding to the call.
The matter remains under investigation.
