DENVER (KDVR) — Two people will spend more than a decade in federal prison after being sentenced for distributing fentanyl that led to a teen’s 2021 death in Greeley, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado.
Destiny Salazar, 36, and Gabriel Orozco, 36, both of Weld County, were both sentenced after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and distribution of fentanyl. Salazar was sentenced to 144 months, and Orozco was sentenced to 168 months in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
