    A fentanyl dealer who killed a man who was trying to rob him last year has been sentenced to five years in prison. Luis F. Gutierrez-Media had been lured to a Southwest Capitol Highway strip mall around 3 a.m. Jan. 13, 2024, to sell fentanyl-laced pills — but when he got there, he was robbed at gunpoint by two men and a woman. As they left, Gutierrez-Medina pulled out his own pistol and fired three shots into the trio’s Ford Explorer, striking 35-year-old Joshua Page in the head, court records show.
