A Boston man has been sentenced to over five years in federal prison for distributing fentanyl. Csean Skerritt, also known as “Shizz Grimmy” and “Black,” was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton to 68 months in prison, followed by four years of supervised release. Skerritt pleaded guilty in March 2025 to one count of distributing 40 grams or more of fentanyl.

The charges stem from a drug trafficking investigation where, on February 1, 2023, Skerritt agreed to sell 50 grams of fentanyl for $1,500. He met with an individual at a pre-arranged location and exchanged approximately 52.3 grams of fentanyl for the money.

Skerritt is also facing murder charges in Massachusetts Superior Court, with an indictment issued on March 9, 2023.

The announcement was made by United States Attorney Leah B. Foley; Ted E. Docks, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Boston Division; Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox; and Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden. Assistant U.S. Attorney John T. Dawley from the Organized Crime & Gang Unit prosecuted the case.
