A New York woman who was sentenced last year to 13 years in prison for the distribution of narcotics is involved in a new criminal matter where she is accused of drugging four men, three of whom passed away, to steal from them.
According to reports, the authorities continued investigating the woman, and they asserted that between April 2023 and February 2024, she was involved in additional crimes. They alleged that she was meeting men who agreed to pay her for sex, and while they were together, she had given them drugs containing fentanyl. While each alleged victim was incapacitated, the woman allegedly took their clothes, shoes, watches, cash, and phones.
The district attorney reported that the first incident they tied her to happened with two men in Washington Heights. They believed she lured them to an apartment where she gave them what the alleged victims thought was cocaine. When they came to, one of the men found the other one dead beside him. Five months later, in another instance, she and a man reportedly went to his residence, and he was later found deceased with his belongings missing. After another five months had passed, a fourth similar incident allegedly occurred at a man’s Upper Manhattan apartment.
When they searched her residence, four pairs of shoes were found that the authorities believed the woman stole from the alleged victims. She was taken into custody, and at the time this was written, she was being held on Riker’s Island with no set bond. She is facing multiple preliminary charges, including three counts of second-degree murder, four counts of first-degree robbery, two counts of second-degree burglary, and one count of second-degree assault. When her attorneys spoke about the allegations, they reported that the woman shared her narcotics with them during their time together, but she had no intention of killing the men. The suspect, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, could spend the rest of her life behind bars if she is convicted.
