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 say, 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. "This has given me a lot more closure with me having to go to therapy for three and a half years, me seeing a psychiatrist, and me having all these problems or like mental issues," she said. Her godmother, Yvonne DeDavies, said that she hopes this case sends a message to buyers and sellers in the area to stop using and get help. "It does, in fact, impact so many different lives. It's just not just the lives of the family that loses the loved ones, but it also impacts just the community itself," she said. This is the first conviction in Chatham County of someone who sold fentanyl-laced drugs to another, and it led to their death. Alaina and DeDavies both told News 3 that they're thankful for every investigator and attorney that helped push this case to the courtroom. Officials with the Savannah-Chatham Counter Narcotics Team said overdose deaths are the hardest cases to investigate and even harder to prosecute since they have so much data and technology to process. Another obstacle is that they have to follow the trail of distribution. District Attorney Shalena Jones asked that anyone with knowledge of incidents like this to call her office or the Savannah-Chatham Counter Narcotics Team.
