A man already serving a 58-year state prison sentence for a high-speed crash that killed five young women in Minneapolis has been sentenced on federal drug and gun charges.

Derrick John Thompson, 30, of Brooklyn Park, was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison followed by five years of supervised release.

Thompson was convicted of possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm by a felon and carrying a firearm during a drug trafficking crime.

The judge ordered that 60 months of the federal sentence will run consecutively to the 58.6-year state sentence Thompson got in July 2025 for third-degree murder and criminal vehicular homicide in Hennepin County District Court. The rest of the federal sentence will run concurrently.
