A Grandview man has been sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for the 2021 fentanyl death of Olivia Piotrowski, a Shawnee Mission East senior.
Cameron B. Bryant, 28, was sentenced this week to 140 months in Olivia’s death. He pleaded guilty in late March to distribution of a controlled substance causing death.
Andrew Piotrowski, who attended nearly every court hearing Bryant had, told The Star Thursday that he and his family are forever grateful to the police officers who investigated his daughter’s death, as well as the prosecutors who handled her case.
As his voice broke when he talked about his daughter, who was 18 when she died, he said he didn’t doubted the determination of the Kansas City Police Department — including Det. Frank Rorabaugh and Det. Jeremy Gragg — and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Even though he’s come to realize in the past nearly three years how difficult fentanyl-related deaths are to investigate and prosecute.
“I think from the beginning, they were going to do everything within their legal powers to find some sort of justice,” Piotrowski, of Johnson County, said. “I mean, when they couldn’t find him (Bryant) the DEA ended up adding more US Marshals to help. They were doing what they needed to do to get this guy.”
