KANSAS CITY, Mo. —  A Kansas City man has been sentenced in federal court for leading a conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, which resulted in an overdose death.

Dmitry Cattell, 24, was sentenced by U.S. Chief District Judge, Beth Phillips, on Thursday to 21 years in federal prison without parole.

Court documents say Cattell distributed at least 6,225 doses of fentanyl between Sept. 12, 2019, and April 5, 2022, and also admitted to distributing at least 1.1 kilograms of cocaine.

According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, evidence was presented during Thursday’s sentencing hearing about fentanyl, which caused the death of a person on May 18, 2020. The victim of the fatal overdose was not named.

According to court documents, law enforcement officers responded to Cattell’s home four times for drug overdoses.

After Cattell sold a pill to his sister, which caused her overdose, officers executed a search warrant at his residence on Nov. 10, 2020, according to documents.

Officers found drug paraphernalia and a handgun, which was under the pillow on Cattell’s bed.

Cattell admitted selling fentanyl to a woman, his girlfriend and his sister, who all overdosed. He distributed all of the drugs at his home.

Cattell is one of the 11 defendants convicted in this case and the second defendant to be sentenced. Dominic Holland, 25, was sentenced on Nov. 21, 2023, to 10 years and 10 months in federal prison without parole.
