A Kansas City man has been brought to justice for his role in distributing heroin, resulting in a tragic overdose death.

TITUS SANDERS, 24, of Kansas City, Missouri, has been sentenced to 144 months in federal prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release, for his involvement in distributing heroin.
