Buffalo Fentanyl Dealer Indicted for 6 Deaths
BUFFALO, N.Y. – A federal grand jury has returned a 23-count indictment charging four defendants with conspiracy to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin and 400 grams or more of fentanyl.
Charged in the conspiracy are Robert Moore, a/k/a Fonz, a/k/a Charmy, 39 of Williamsville, NY; Reese Moore, a/k/a Detroit, 25 of Buffalo, NY; Kevin Abernathy, a/k/a B, 31 of Buffalo, and Joshua Levine, 21 of Lancaster, NY.
Robert Moore is also charged with five counts of causing death from the distribution of heroin and/or fentanyl and 12 counts of possession with intent to distribute, and distribution, of heroin, fentanyl, and butyryl fentanyl.
According to the indictment, the defendants distributed heroin, fentanyl, and butyryl fentanyl for over two years in the City of Buffalo and surrounding areas. Many of the sales occurred on residential streets in Buffalo, in parking lots of businesses in Amherst and Lancaster, and several times at a local mall.
The defendants are responsible for distributing thousands of doses of opiates and causing multiple overdoses, including the five charged deaths. The decedents include a 21-year-old Lockport woman, a 45-year-old Buffalo man, and three Lancaster men, ages 24, 31, and 36.
Robert Moore was arrested on March 16, 2017, after authorities executed a search warrant at his home on Glenwood Drive in Williamsville. Law enforcement officers recovered 200 doses of fentanyl inside the residence. Over $49,000 in cash, over $440,000 in jewelry, and a 2009 Audi S5 Quattro were also seized from Moore’s residence.
Levine was also arrested on March 16, 2017 following the execution of a search warrant at his residence on Aurora Street in Lancaster. Officers recovered 26 doses of fentanyl inside his residence.
