Sinaloa man sentenced to 20 years in U.S. federal court for fentanyl conspiracy  

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KQTV)-- A man from Sinaloa, Mexico, was sentenced in federal court on Tuesday for his role in a fentanyl drug conspiracy. 

Raymound Guadalupe Felix-Perez was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Roseann A. Ketchmark to 20 years in prison without the possibility of parole. 

Felix-Perez had previously pleaded guilty in the Western District of Missouri to one count of conspiracy to distribute more than 400 grams of fentanyl and another count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. 

Court records show that before he was indicted, Felix-Perez returned to Sinaloa, where he continued distributing fentanyl to co-conspirators in Missouri, Iowa, Arizona and Idaho. 

He was arrested on June 30, 2024, after attempting to enter the United States in the Southern District of California.
