San Ramon Man Sentenced For Firearm Crime

SAN RAMON, CA — A San Ramon man was sentenced to 40 months in prison for illegally possessing a firearm and 19 rounds of ammunition, according to the Department of Justice.

Rashad Shambray-Jones, 30, pleaded guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. According to court documents, Shambray-Jones crashed a car into a fence on federal property on Jan. 31, 2021. When police responded to the scene, they observed a gun and 19 rounds of ammunition on the front floorboard of the car. Shambray-Jones was arrested due to his status as a convicted felon.

After pleading guilty to that offense, he was referred to the Conviction Alternatives Program, which entails intensive supervision of participants prior to sentencing for the possibility of reduced sentencing. During that period, Chambray-Jones was captured firing approximately seven rounds from a firearm in a shooting incident on May 5, 2023 in the Bayview District of San Francisco. He was arrested by San Francisco police in September 2023 after seeking treatment in the hospital.

Shambray-Jones was sentenced to three years supervised release once his prison term is completed.
