A Richardson man has been sentenced to more than four years in federal prison for his involvement in a fentanyl distribution operation worth more than $64,000, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Chad E. Meacham for the Northern District of Texas.
On May 15, 2025, Donald Derrell Slay, Jr., 31, was sentenced to 51 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr for conspiring to possess with intent to distribute fentanyl.
According to court documents, from late 2022 into early 2023, Slay worked with co-conspirators Hakeem Aziz Wiley and Richard Daniel Gomez to sell fentanyl to undercover officers in the Dallas area. One delivery involved 6,000 fentanyl pills exchanged for $15,000.
All three defendants pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge following their indictment. Wiley, 26, of Frisco, was sentenced to 90 months in federal prison in January 2025. Gomez, 24, of Carrollton, received 37 months in February.
Fentanyl pills typically sell for about $10 each, giving the seized pills in this case an estimated street value of approximately $64,690.
The case was investigated by the Texas Department of Public Safety and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney George Leal.
