A Bensalem drug dealer was sentenced to state prison as part of his negotiated guilty plea agreed to with authorities last month, on Tuesday.
Shakur Ali Brisbon, 24, was charged with drug delivery resulting in the drug death of Olivia Seaberg earlier this year.
Investigators alleged Brisbon provided the drugs to Seaberg, 23, on Nov. 23, of last year. She was found dead in her apartment the next day. Brisbon sold counterfeit prescription pill laced with Fentanyl that contributed to her overdose death.
Bucks County Judge Raymond F. McHugh accepted the negotiated sentence of 7 ½ to 21 years in state prison.
Prior to sentencing, McHugh heard victim impact statements from the relatives of 23-year-old Seaberg.
“The loss of my sunshine left an immeasurable void in my life that can never be filled,” her mother told the judge.
Seaberg’s brother, sister and niece also appeared before McHugh to describe the pain and suffering they’ve endured since her death, which came just before the start of the festive holiday season. “My little sister was sold two pills laced with fentanyl on the eve of Thanksgiving and one of them killed her,” her sister said.
Brisbon has been in Bucks County Correctional Facility since his arrest in February.
This investigation began after Bristol Township police were dispatched at 3:55 a.m. on Nov. 24, 2022, to an apartment in the 6900 block of Bristol-Emilie Road for a report of a woman who was not breathing. Upon arrival, Bristol Township officers located Seaberg on the floor of the residence, and she was later declared deceased.
During the investigation, police located a blue pill next to where Seaberg was located, along with an empty prescription pill bottle that was recovered from the nightstand. They also recovered marijuana and Seaberg’s cellphone. A forensic search of the phone led to the discovery of a social media conversation she had with someone, later identified as Brisbon, about buying oxycodone prescription tablets and marijuana.
The blue pill recovered from Seaberg’s residence was tested and a lab report confirmed it contained Fentanyl, along with other substances. The Bucks County Coroner’s Office confirmed that Seaberg’s death was caused by Fentanyl Toxicity.
This case was investigated by the Bristol Township Police Department and was prosecuted by Chief Deputy District Attorney Edward M. Louka.
