A Bloomington man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison in connection with two drug overdose deaths last year.
Shaquan D. Hosea, 31, pleaded guilty to drug-induced homicide and was sentenced in McLean County court last week.
He was accused of supplying the fentanyl that killed sisters Angel Cornett, 34, and Treshonda Cornett, 28, both of Bloomington, a day apart in June 2025.
Bloomington Police said an investigation was triggered by the close succession of the sisters' overdose deaths, which prompted police to explore causes other than accidental or intentional overdose. They used phone records to identify Hosea as a suspect.
Authorities said Hosea deceived the sisters when they bought fentanyl from him, believing it was a different drug, which led to them unknowingly taking a lethal dose.
An unrelated wire fraud case against Hosea was dismissed as he was sentenced on two counts of drug-induced homicide, a Class X felony.
He will receive credit for nearly one year spent in McLean County jail and is required to serve at least 75% of the 12-year sentence. That means he could be eligible for release as soon as 2034.
Once released, Hosea is required to serve 18 months probation.
