Dennis Wilson, known as “Deuce,” a long-time member of the Boston-based gang H-Block, has been sentenced to 77 months in prison for drug conspiracy offenses. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Leo T. Sorokin and includes three years of supervised release following his prison term.

Wilson, aged 36 and a resident of Boston, pleaded guilty in April 2025 to charges related to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances. His conviction is part of a larger case involving ten members and associates of the H-Block gang who were charged in August 2024 after an investigation that began in 2021. This investigation responded to increased gang-related drug trafficking, shootings, and violence.

The court documents revealed that during the investigation, authorities seized over 500 grams of cocaine, crack cocaine, fentanyl, and more than 20,000 doses of drug-laced paper. The H Block Street Gang is recognized as one of Boston’s most feared gangs. It originated in the Roxbury section as the Humboldt Raiders in the 1980s before re-emerging as H Block in the 2000s.

From 2022 through 2023, Wilson was involved in distributing various controlled substances such as fentanyl and cocaine. He often accompanied a co-conspirator on drug deals with undercover officers.

The announcement was made by United States Attorney Leah B. Foley along with other law enforcement officials including Stephen Belleau from the Drug Enforcement Administration New England Field Division; Andrew Murphy from the U.S. Secret Service Boston Field Office; Ted E. Docks from the FBI Boston Division; Jonathan Mellone from the Department of Labor’s Office of Inspector General; and Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox.

The investigation received support from multiple agencies including Massachusetts State Police, Massachusetts Department of Corrections, Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, and several local police departments.

Assistant United States Attorneys John T. Dawley and Jeremy Franker are prosecuting these cases under the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF). OCDETF focuses on identifying and dismantling high-level criminal organizations using a multi-agency approach led by prosecutors.

It is important to note that details within charging documents are allegations until proven otherwise beyond reasonable doubt in court for remaining defendants.
