A Lynn man, Emilo Garcia, known as "Six," has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for leading a drug trafficking organization (DTO) on the North Shore of Massachusetts. The sentencing took place on May 30, 2025, in federal court in Boston. Following his prison term, Garcia will serve five years of supervised release.
In February 2025, Garcia pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and possession of a firearm related to drug trafficking. He was charged alongside Sebastien Bejin and Deiby Felix in November 2023 and indicted by a federal grand jury the following month.
The investigation into the DTO began with an overdose death in Salem in July 2023. On November 1, 2023, authorities conducted searches at four locations frequented by Garcia and Bejin in Lynn. These searches resulted in one of the largest seizures of fentanyl and methamphetamine in Massachusetts history. Among the seized items were nine kilograms of pink heart-shaped fentanyl-laced pills designed to look like candy.
Over the course of the investigation, authorities confiscated approximately eight million doses of fentanyl and methamphetamine laced pills and powder with an estimated street value exceeding $8 million. Additional seizures included cocaine, cutting agents such as xylazine, firearms, industrial pill presses, mixing equipment, and other manufacturing tools.
A search at Felix’s residence uncovered more than three kilograms of pressed pills containing methamphetamine and fentanyl along with a firearm. Investigators also discovered a clandestine drug laboratory within a small basement room.
Sebastien Bejin received a sentence of 12 years imprisonment followed by five years supervised release earlier this month. Deiby Felix pleaded guilty earlier this year but awaits sentencing.
United States Attorney Leah B. Foley announced these developments along with Kimberly Milka from the FBI Boston office; Colonel Geoffrey D. Noble from Massachusetts State Police; Essex County District Attorney Paul F. Tucker; supported by local law enforcement agencies including Lynnfield and Salem Police Departments; Assistant U.S Attorney Philip A Mallard is handling prosecution duties for this case.
