SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — After more than three years of police investigations and waiting for answers, the family of an overdose victim in Chatham County finally has closure.
April Raices died in 2021 after using a controlled substance. Her attorneys said that she didn’t know it was laced with fentanyl.
The person who sold the drugs to her, Tracy Agin, has been sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole, according to the Raices family.
Alaina, April’s daughter, has a hard time putting her feelings into words when talking about the death of her mom.
“We did everything together. That was my best friend,” Alaina said.
Alaina told News 3, she knew about her mother’s drug usage, but she swore that she would never try fentanyl.
“That’s one thing that she always said she would never touch,” Alaina said.
Alaina said April even admitted she needed and wanted help to get passed her addiction. That same week, she died.
Alaina sat through the trial and even read a Victim Impact Statement at the sentencing hearing for Agin. She said she has closure now that everything is over with, but it has taken a toll on her.
