Man convicted in overdose death of Cedar Park man

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- A Williamson County jury found a 46-year-old Georgetown man guilty following the 2022 death of a Cedar Park man, according to the Williamson County District Attorney's Office.

That man was identified as John Harrison Lamb Jr., 46. He will be sentenced by a judge on Nov. 6, per a news release from the DA's office.

The conviction comes after an investigation into the death of 47-year-old Clinton Dunn of Cedar Park. He was found dead in his home on Nov. 1, 2022, the DA's office said.

Lamb admitted to police during the investigation that he "provided Dunn with illegal substances -- including cocaine and marijuana -- more than once in the roughly two weeks leading up to his death."

On the day before Dunn was found inside his home, Lamb had delivered seven grams of cocaine, according to the DA's office. That substance was taken from Dunn's home, and it "tested positive for cocaine, fentanyl and tramadol."

Dunn's cause of death was "drug toxicity resulting from the presence of fentanyl, cocaine, tramadol, methamphetamine and alprazolam," according to the DA's office. A forensic toxicologist who testified during the trail said "Dunn had likely consumed the fentanyl-laced cocaine within 4-5 hours of his death."

“This case is a heartbreaking reminder of the devastating impact illegal drugs have on our community,” Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick said in the release. “The jury’s verdict holds the defendant accountable for his role in distributing the dangerous drugs that led to Mr. Dunn’s tragic death."
