In just three short months, the defendants attempted to bring over 40 guns into our community to sell them on our streets, including selling near an elementary school," said U.S. Attorney Breon Peace. "Thanks to our Office and our law enforcement partners, this gun trafficking ring has been dismantled, and we hope this sends a message to all who seek to profit from the illegal gun trade that we will not stop in our efforts to keep our community safe."
According to the indictment, the group made multiple sales of illegal firearms, including semi-automatic and defaced weapons, between February 2024 and April 2024. Some of those firearms had defaced serial numbers, prosecutors said.
