Brandi Turner arrested in connection with 2022 death of Quinn Hall in San Luis Obispo

On 10-27-22, Deputies were dispatched to the old County Animal Services building on Oklahoma Avenue in San Luis Obispo for a report of a deceased male behind the building, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office said in a media release on Tuesday.

The victim was identified as 31-year-old Quinn Hall of Templeton. According to authorities, it was later determined that Hall died of a fentanyl overdose. During the investigation, Detectives discovered that shortly before Hall died, he was allegedly sold fentanyl by a woman identified as 50-year-old Brandi Turner, who was a resident of Oklahoma Avenue Safe Parking.

Detectives determined the fentanyl that Turner allegedly sold to Hall led to his death. And as a result, on 5-15-23, Turner was arrested for homicide. It’s believed this is the first case in the county where a fentanyl death will be prosecuted as a homicide.

Turner is currently being held in County Jail on homicide and drug charges.

Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact the Sheriff’s Detective Division at 805-781-4500.
