2 Arrested, 3rd Sought In Westmoreland Co. Fatal Heroin Overdose
GREENSBURG (AP) - Authorities have arrested two people and are looking for a third in connection with several fentanyl-laced heroin overdoses that killed 22 people in western Pennsylvania last year.
Prosecutors said Friday they charged three people in the death last year of Christina Donati-Racioppo.
The Westmoreland County resident died after using a bag of heroin that contained a concoction of heroin laced with the narcotic fentanyl.
Investigators say 19-year-old Demetrius Houser and 31-year-old Kristy Guzzi have been arrested and charged with delivery resulting in death, possession of a controlled substance and related charges.
Authorities are still looking for 32-year-old Derek Miller in connection with the case.
It's unclear if the defendants had lawyers who could comment on the charges.
