Overseen by the state Attorney General’s Office, an investigation into William Ely, 41, of Wilkinsburg and two mid-level dealers, Jaylon Brock, 32, of Pittsburgh and Tony Burnsworth, 44, of Somerset County began in May 2021.
During the investigation, detectives discovered that Ely was supplying approximately 150 bricks of heroin/fentanyl, or up to 7,500 doses, a week to Mr. Brock and Mr. Burnsworth. The two recipients would then sell the drugs on the streets — Mr. Brock in Pittsburgh and Mr. Burnsworth in Somerset County, the attorney general’s office said.
