A Buffalo man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in a fentanyl trafficking ring that led to fatal and non-fatal overdoses.
Davon Mitchell, also known as Blu Boyy, 35, of Buffalo, was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute, fentanyl, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking crimes.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Evan K. Glaberson, who handled the case, Mitchell began selling fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine in the Western District of New York to numerous regular drug customers in 2019.
Between March 22 and May 12, 2022, he sold approximately 2.7 grams of fentanyl, 72 grams of methamphetamine, and 3 grams of crack cocaine to an undercover police officer.
On June 1, 2022, law enforcement arrested Mitchell and executed a search warrant at his Janice Street residence, recovering a quantity of methamphetamine, $3,257 in cash, a cell phone, a revolver, ammunition, and drug paraphernalia.
Mitchell admitted that he distributed fentanyl that resulted in the overdose deaths of two individuals from acute fentanyl intoxication. Mitchell also admitted selling fentanyl that resulted in the non-fatal overdose of another individual on three occasions.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Erin Keegan, the Buffalo Police Department, under the direction of Commissioner Alphonso Wright, the West Seneca Police Department, under the direction of Chief Brian Cosgrove, and the New York State Police, under the direction of Major Amie Feroleto.
