Azle teen becomes first person in Tarrant County convicted of murder for dealing fentanyl
SUMMARY: Kaden Ferish, a 19-year-old man, made history as the first individual in Tarrant County convicted of murder related to fentanyl distribution, after his actions led to the overdose death of 17-year-old Dustin Anderton in January. Prosecutors successfully utilized a newly enacted fentanyl murder law, which allows for murder charges against those whose drug dealing results in death. Ferish pled guilty and received a 19-year prison sentence. Texas has seen a steep rise in fentanyl-related deaths in recent years, but recent data suggests this trend may be declining, reflecting the potential impact of stricter enforcement against dealers.
Kaeden Farish will serve prison time for the death of 17-year-old Dustin Anderton, who overdosed and died from fentanyl-laced pills provided by Farish.
