A fentanyl dealer was sentenced to more than four years in federal prison for his role in distributing over $64,000 worth of fentanyl, announced Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Chad E. Meacham.
On May 15, 2025, Donald Derrell Slay, Jr., 31, of Richardson, Texas, was sentenced to 51 months in federal prison by United States District Judge Brantley Starr for conspiring to possess with intent to distribute fentanyl. Court filings reveal that, in late 2022 into early 2023, Slay and two others, Hakeem Aziz Wiley and Richard Daniel Gomez, sold several quantities of fentanyl to undercover officers on multiple occasions in the Dallas area. One delivery involved 6,000 fentanyl pills in exchange for $15,000.00.
Slay, Wiley, and Gomez each pled guilty to a conspiracy count after indictment. Hakeem Aziz Wiley, 26, of Frisco, was sentenced to 90 months in federal prison by Judge Starr in January 2025. Richard Daniel Gomez, 24, of Carrollton, Texas, received a sentence of 37 months in federal prison from Judge Starr in February this year.
Fentanyl pills have an approximate street value of $10 per pill. The potential street value of the fentanyl pills seized in this case is approximately $64,690.00.
The case was investigated by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Assistant United States Attorney George Leal prosecuted the case.
