Investigators believe the victim died on Christmas Day 2020 – and was found dead days later by family. This, after the defendant left the victim at the residence without calling for help.

"Today was an emotionally charged sentencing with family and friends of the victim bravely sharing the loss they continue to suffer today from a loved dying from a fentanyl overdose death.
