Andre Higgs was sentenced Thursday to 15 years in federal prison for selling fentanyl-laced heroin to two addicts who died of overdoses in Cambria and Allegheny counties.
The Wilkinsburg man was the last of three defendants to be sentenced for their roles in the 2015 deaths of Stacey Shaw, 38, of Altoona, and Ray Smith, 43, of Munhall, in a case that former U.S. Attorney David Hickton highlighted in his push to prosecute heroin dealers who kill people with “their poison.”
Higgs, 33, and his co-defendants, Romar Watts of Homestead and Brian Borruto of Ebensburg, were among the first in this region to be prosecuted. Since then, about a dozen others have been indicted.
