Kiersten Cerveny, who had young children, is believed to have overdosed on cocaine after a night of partying in Manhattan
The producer of an HBO series is one of two men arrested over the death of a dermatologist who overdosed on cocaine and alcohol last year.
Authorities believe Dr Cerveny had snorted cocaine all night as she shared drinks with Johnson at a Lower East Side nightspot.
She went back in a taxi to Holder's apartment building in Chelsea and overdosed in his apartment, according to court papers.
Johnson, who was questioned shortly after her death, was seen on the building's surveillance cameras dragging her down to the lobby, authorities said.
He called 911 and waited until emergency crews arrived, but then left the scene, police said.
Johnson is also charged with attempted narcotics distribution and being an accessory after the fact.
Federal investigators allege that Holder, also known by the nickname Pepsi, had sold cocaine to Johnson, who then provided it to other people at social clubs.
Dr Cerveny was married and had three young children. She won the 1995 America's Junior Miss as a teenager and used the $30,000 scholarship to attend Duke University. After graduating, she earned her medical degree from Tulane.
Johnson and Holder were due to appear in federal court in Manhattan.
A spokesman for HBO did not respond to a request for comment.
