TAMPA, Fla. — A federal jury found two Tampa men guilty of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl that led to the death of a University of South Florida student.
According to United States Attorney Gregory Kehoe, Miguel Cintron and Darrius Gustafson distributed a lethal amount of fentanyl to a victim that resulted in the victim's death. After the victim's death, they distributed fentanyl to undercover deputies with HCSO.
In April 2024, they were arrested, and a search warrant was conducted on Cintron's home, where law enforcement found seven kilograms of cocaine, fentanyl, and over $200,000 in cash.
Two other men involved in the case, David Chudhabuddhi and Marquis Trant, pleaded guilty and are scheduled for sentencing in June.
Sentencing dates have not yet been set, but both men face a minimum penalty of 20 years, up to life in federal prison.
