Man charged in Penn Hills baby's fentanyl overdose death

PENN HILLS, Pa. (KDKA) — A man is charged with involuntary manslaughter after a 7-month-old girl fatally overdosed on fentanyl in Penn Hills, police announced on Friday. 

County police said David Poindexter, 58, was watching Zhuri Bogle with her grandmother when the girl overdosed on fentanyl. 

When first responders got to Chaske Street on the morning of Jan. 15, police said Bogle's father was performing CPR. Paramedics took over but Bogle was pronounced dead at the scene. 

A month later, the Allegheny County medical examiner ruled the girl died from acute fentanyl toxicity. 

Poindexter is already in jail for an unrelated offense, police said. He's charged with involuntary manslaughter and recklessly endangering another person. 

Police said the investigation into Bogle's death is still open.
