KYLE, Texas (KXAN) — Kyle Police Chief Jeff Barnett said emojis and code names on social media are being used to distribute lethal drugs in the area. 'They'll use the blue diamond and the blue heart for the fentanyl that we're finding in our community,' Chief Barnett said. He said both drug dealers and young people are posting about it. 'They may leave out the code and just say, ‘Looking to buy something. Who's got anything?' Barnett said. He said drug dealers know that's an open invitation to sell to that customer.
