Tabitha Bundrick sentenced to 27 years to life for fentanyl murders

Tabitha Bundrick, 39, has been sentenced to 27 years to life in prison for a series of robberies and murders in New York City. Bundrick pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree murder and one count of second-degree assault.

Between April 2023 and February 2024, Bundrick targeted men by providing them with fentanyl-laced drugs, which she claimed was cocaine. Once the victims became unconscious, she robbed them of cash, phones, watches, clothing, and sneakers. The spree resulted in the deaths of Mario Paullan, 42, Miguel Navez, 39, and Abrihan Fernandez, 34.

During the sentencing hearing in Manhattan Supreme Court, relatives of the victims delivered emotional impact statements. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg stated that Bundrick’s “callous conduct has left three devastated families,” while prosecutors noted a consistent pattern where robbery served as the motive and fentanyl as the means.
