(Allegheny County, PA) A man will face time in jail in Allegheny County for providing fentanyl that killed a fifteen-year-old girl from Oakdale in 2024. Twenty-nine-year-old Shakeirs Foster pleaded guilty in court yesterday to involuntary manslaughter and delivery and was sentenced to two and a half to six years in state prison. Investigators tracked the fentanyl delivery to Foster after investigative methods which included reviewing cellphone evidence and talking with witnesses. According to a release from Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday’s office, witnesses saw Foster enter the victim’s apartment on May 7th, 2024, and leave a short time later. 911 was called after the victim became unconscious. First responders provided life-saving measures before transporting her to a hospital; however, she never regained consciousness and died a week later on May 14th, 2024.
