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 federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release. In March 2025, Skerritt pleaded guilty to distributing 40 grams or more of fentanyl and was indicted by a federal grand jury.

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

Skerritt is also awaiting trial on murder charges after being indicted on March 9, 2023, in Massachusetts Superior Court.

The announcement was made by United States Attorney Leah B. Foley; Ted E. Docks, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’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.
