Daniel P. Bubar Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina | U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina
Ulysses Jaheim Page, a 22-year-old man from Raleigh, North Carolina, received a 15-year prison sentence for possessing a firearm as a felon and injuring a man during a gang-related shooting. In September 2024, Page pled guilty to the charges.
Court records reveal that on May 4, 2024, officers stopped a car in which Page was a backseat passenger. The Wilmington Police Department was involved in the stop due to an unserved arrest warrant for the driver on a firearms offense. A stolen firearm was found near Page, and DNA testing confirmed the firearm as his.
Page's sentence also includes his involvement in a 2023 gang-related shootout. On April 27, 2023, Wilmington police responded to a shooting incident at Oakdale Cemetery involving the 720 Gangster Disciples gang. A car arriving at the scene was identified, with Page being one of the shooters who fired into the gathered crowd.
As a previously convicted felon, Page was banned from legally possessing firearms. His record includes felony convictions for a 2020 robbery and a series of larceny offenses in 2019.
The conviction stems from the ongoing Violent Crime Action Plan (VCAP) initiative, aimed at countering significant violent crime drivers through collaborative and strategic law enforcement efforts.
Daniel P. Bubar, Acting U.S. Attorney, announced the sentencing delivered by U.S. District Judge James C. Dever III. The Wilmington Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives conducted the investigation, and the case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly Dixon and former Special Assistant U.S. Attorney William Van Trigt.
Further details on the case, numbered 7:23-CR-00060-D-BM, are available on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina website or through PACER.
