Eduardo Marquez, Fentanyl Trafficking, Nebraska 2023

A 28-year-old man has been sentenced to 84 months in prison for his role in a fentanyl trafficking operation in Omaha, Nebraska.

Eduardo Marquez, 28, was sentenced on April 6, 2023, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and as an addict in possession of a firearm.

According to court documents, Marquez was involved in a large-scale fentanyl trafficking operation that brought in thousands of dollars in revenue. On April 27, 2021, the Drug Enforcement Administration arranged to purchase 1,000 fentanyl pills from a Mexico-based source of supply using a confidential source.

The confidential source, under the direction of law enforcement, successfully purchased the fentanyl from Marquez. Following the purchase, DEA Agents searched Marquez’s residence and recovered 573 grams of cocaine, 139 grams of fentanyl, an AK-47 rifle and a .45 caliber handgun.

Marquez was arrested at the residence and subsequently admitted to selling cocaine and possessing the .45 caliber handgun. This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Chief United States District Judge Robert F. Rossiter Jr. sentenced Marquez to 84 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After his release from prison, he will begin a 4-year term of supervised release.

The sentencing in this case marks a significant victory in the fight against fentanyl trafficking in the Omaha area. The DEA and other law enforcement agencies will continue to work tirelessly to disrupt and dismantle these operations and bring those responsible to justice.
