Randolph Mosely, 45, of Gaithersburg, was sentenced to ten years in prison, with five years suspended, and five years of supervised probation after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 fentanyl-related death of Andrew “Drew” Davis, 27, of Rockville. Investigators determined Mosely sold Davis the pills that led to his fatal overdose.
According to the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office, “Davis was found deceased in his apartment in the 9700 block of Key West Avenue in Rockville on February 17, 2021. Responding Montgomery County Police Officers found four small blue pills in a tied-off plastic bag, a straw, and a credit card with blue powdery residue on a table inside the apartment. Following an investigation, detectives determined that the defendant, Mosely, sold the victim the pills in the overnight hours between February 16 and February 17, 2021. An autopsy by the Chief Medical Examiner found the presence of fentanyl and oxycodone in the body of Andrew Davis. The substances were the cause of his death.
“Fentanyl has claimed far too many lives. Our hearts go out to th family of the victim in this case. Thanks to targeted community outreach efforts, our numbers in terms of fatal overdoses have finally begun to decline. We pledge to continue our work in educating young people about fentanyl and to vehemently prosecute any purveyor of death who chooses to deal this substance in our community,” said State’s Attorney John McCarthy.
Assistant State’s Attorneys Jennifer Harrison and Kimberly Cissel with our Overdose Prosecution Unit prosecuted this case.
