Alfurgan Simon, of Newark, was convicted in July of conspiring to distribute more than 2.2 pounds of heroin and possessing the drug with the intent to distribute it.
At least 18 people died in Allegheny County from heroin laced with fentanyl, a drug that is legally used as a powerful painkiller for cancer patients.
Prosecutors say Simon's drugs were sold by a Pittsburgh ring from June to November 2006. The drugs were labeled "Get High or Die Trying" and "Burnout."
