Chicago police to treat drug overdose scenes as potential homicides in effort to hold drug dealers accountable
WLS
CHICAGO (WLS) There is a new effort underway in Chicago to hold drug dealers accountable for overdose deaths.
DuPage, Lake and McHenry counties have been pursuing charges ever since the state s drug-induced homicide law was put into place. Now, Chicago police will treat drug overdose scenes as potential homicide scenes. When they eventually rule that, hey, the cause and manner here was overdose, if detectives processed the scene accordingly on the front end, then we can go back, work with our narcotics officers, we can try to figure out where they purchased from, said Chief Brendan Deenihan, Chicago Police Dept.

Three people are now facing a potential life prison sentence for a 2017 overdose death of a Livingston County woman.
Alisha Degroot of Fowlerville was found deceased by Michigan State Police on March 6th of 2017 by what was later determined to have been an overdose of heroin laced with fentanyl. The responding trooper testified that he interviewed 28-year-old Joshua Riley Goode of Tiffin, Ohio, who admitted to purchasing the heroin the day before in Detroit and providing it to Degroot. That led to charges being filed against Goode in 2019 of drug delivery causing death.
