A Colorado jury this week convicted a 33-year-old father of child abuse after his toddler daughter died from fentanyl poisoning.

Colorado 17th Judicial District Attorney Brian Mason’s office announced on Jan. 23 the conviction of Alonzo Montoya following a two-week trial in Adams County District Court. The jury found Mr. Montoya guilty of child abuse resulting in death, two counts of child abuse by knowing exposure to controlled substance manufacturing, and child abuse resulting in no injury.
