A federal jury has found Shreveport rapper Keynon Frazier, known as "Green Eyez," guilty of illegal possession of firearms. The trial, presided over by United States District Judge S. Maurice Hicks, Jr., lasted three days and concluded with the verdict.
The incident leading to the charges occurred on April 15, 2024. Officers from the Shreveport Police Department attempted to stop Frazier's vehicle in downtown Shreveport. The pursuit ended when his vehicle collided with a telephone pole and another car. Frazier was the only person in the vehicle.
Upon investigation, officers discovered two firearms inside: a Glock 17 and a Glock 45, along with an expended shell casing lodged in the chamber of the latter. Additionally, they noted a bullet-sized hole in the driver's side windshield.
Frazier had previous felony convictions for aggravated battery and second-degree robbery. As such, he was prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law. He was arrested at the scene.
The jury took approximately two hours to deliberate before delivering their guilty verdict. Frazier now faces up to 15 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a potential fine of $250,000. Sentencing is scheduled for May 22, 2025.
The case was investigated by both the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Shreveport Police Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Aaron Crawford and Cheyenne Wilson.
