KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City man was sentenced Thursday in connection with the deaths of three people.
Tiger Draggoo, 25, has been sentenced to 40 years in federal prison with 30 years of supervision upon his release, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Missouri announced.

In October 2024, Draggoo pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and three counts of distributing fentanyl resulting in death.
Draggoo admitted that, on three separate occasions, the fentanyl he sold led to the deaths of three people, including a juvenile. All three deaths occurred in either Belton or Raymore in 2022.
Draggoo also admitted that he was responsible for distributing or possessing at least 22,364 pills that contained a total of 2,460 grams of fentanyl.
As part of the investigation, during a search of Draggoo’s apartment, law enforcement found 17 firearms, including two machine guns, ammunition of various calibers, $246,769 in cash, a ballistic vest with plates, a money counter and numerous pills that contained fentanyl.
“This case is a sad reminder of the horrific damage and destruction that fentanyl can have in our community,” U.S. Attorney R. Matthew Price said in a statement. “It is also a stern reminder to those who seek to make a profit off dealing fentanyl will be vigorously investigated, prosecuted, and incarcerated.
“I want to express my condolences to the family members of the victims and thank our law enforcement partners and United States Attorney’s Office staff who worked on this case. I know that the sentence does not bring back their loved ones but hope that the lengthy sentence brings some measure of peace that justice was served.”
The Jackson County Drug Task Force, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Belton Police Department, the Raymore Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) assisted in this case.
