4 Charged By Grand Jury For Interstate Ghost Gun Trafficking

WHITE PLAINS, NY — The four people arrested in June after being accused of interstate trafficking of ghost guns were indicted by a grand jury.

Authorities said 31 ghost guns, as well as two conventional firearms, were seized that were assembled and purchased in Washington, D.C., before transported to Yonkers for sale between April 28 and June 24.

"This case is just one example of my gun safety initiative in action," said Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah, "conducting proactive investigations to remove illegal weapons like ghost guns from our streets and prosecute gun traffickers."

The joint investigation — launched by the Yonkers Police Department’s Narcotics Unit in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Agency Group D43, the New York City Police Department, the New York State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Violent Criminal Enterprise Bureau of the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office — focused on the interstate trafficking of “ghost guns,” partially finished, untraceable and fully-functioning illegal firearms that can be easily assembled at home with parts purchased online and designed to evade certain gun laws.

Prosecutors said Jose Gregorio Olivo-Feliz, 27, of Yonkers, Pedro Junior Olivo-Feliz, 21, of Yonkers, and Netaly A. Pena-Camilo, 25, of Washington, D.C., conspired to transport firearms from Washington, D.C. between April 28 and June 24 for the purposes of selling them in Yonkers. Pena-Camilo was allegedly in possession of the firearms and responsible for transporting them across state lines to sell them in Westchester County.

The Westchester County grand jury brought the following felony charges:

Jose Gregorio Olivo-Feliz: Conspiracy in the Fourth Degree, two counts of Criminal Sale of a Firearm in the First Degree, Criminal Sale of a Firearm in the Second Degree, seven counts of Criminal Sale of a Firearm in the Third Degree, Criminal Possession of a Firearm, Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the First Degree, 11 counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree, and two counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Third Degree.

Pena-Camilo: Conspiracy in the Fourth Degree, two counts of Criminal Sale of a Firearm in the First Degree, Criminal Sale of a Firearm in the Second Degree, six counts of Criminal Sale of a Firearm in the Third Degree, Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the First Degree, 11 counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree and two counts of Criminal Possession
of a Weapon in the Third Degree.
