An online obituary<\/a> identified Schneider as a custodian there.<\/p>\n\u201cI have a frnd (sic) that\u2019s sick, looking for something to help her,\u201d Schneider texted. \u201cShe\u2019s dopesick.\u201d<\/p>\n
Washington cited the price: $100 for a \u201cbrick\u201d of fentanyl, the complaint said. The drug is 100 times stronger than morphine and 50 times stronger than heroin, health experts say.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you make it happen tonight?\u201d police said Schneider responded.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor u, anything sunshine,\u201d Wasington replied, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n
Police said a person, identified only as \u201cWitness 1,\u201d picked up Schneider from the school around 9 p.m. The two stopped at an ATM, then drove to a house in Pittsburgh\u2019s Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood, the complaint said.<\/p>\n
A man was sitting on the steps, the complaint said. Schneider got out of the car and hugged the man.<\/p>\n
Police said the handoff of the drugs was complete in less than a minute.<\/p>\n
Witness 1 and Schneider then drove to Schneider\u2019s Kestner Avenue home, the complaint said. Witness 1 went upstairs. About 90 minutes later, Schneider\u2019s son found her unconscious in a first-floor bathroom.<\/p>\n
Police said the witness, whose name and gender aren\u2019t mentioned in the complaint, called 911 at 11:07 p.m.<\/p>\n
Paramedics rushed Schneider to AHN Jefferson Hospital. She died there two days later. She was 33.<\/p>\n
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office said Schneider\u2019s cause of death was drug intoxication from hydrocodone, fentanyl and parafentanyl, the complaint said.<\/p>\n
The witness later gave Brentwood police the drugs in multiple stamp bags, which Schneider had stashed in a prescription bottle, the complaint said. They later tested positive for fentanyl.<\/p>\n
In March, police learned Schneider would visit Washington when he worked at a Sunoco gas station in Brentwood, the complaint said. Last month, detectives said they interviewed Washington at a Mt. Washington apartment. <\/p>\n
Washington told police that Schneider reached out to him in 2024 \u201cto get heroin,\u201d the complaint said. He also said the two had spoken over Facebook Messenger.<\/p>\n
