A Santa Rosa woman has been sentenced to over six years in federal prison for supplying fentanyl that led to the death of a man and his infant son.
Leanna Zamora, 29, was sentenced to 77 months in prison Wednesday for her role in a fentanyl distribution operation that originated in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood, U.S. Attorney Stephanie M. Hinds and Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent, Wade R. Shannon, stated, KPIX reported.
According to court documents, Zamora, Lindsay Williams, 32, and Shane Cratty, 26, also of Santa Rosa, worked together to supply fentanyl to Patrick O'Neill, a 29-year-old father. Zamora sold the fentanyl to Williams, Williams gave it to Cratty and Cratty delivered it to O'Neill.
In September of 2019, the mother of O'Neill's 13-month-old son Liam, discovered O'Neill and her child unresponsive at a Santa Rosa house. Despite lifesaving efforts, officers were unable to revive the toddler, who was pronounced dead at the scene. O'Neill was transported to a local hospital where he died two days later.
Santa Rosa police said they found items in the home "consistent with narcotic use" and determined that the father and child had died after ingesting fentanyl.
In December of 2019, Zamora was indicted on one count of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and distribution of fentanyl resulting in serious bodily injury and death. She plead guilty to both charges.
KCBS Radio has reached out to the U.S. Attorney's Office Northern District of California regarding Zamora's sentencing, but has not yet heard back.
