Tre Enrique Jackson, a 31-year-old resident of the District of Columbia, was sentenced to 58 months in federal prison for unlawful firearm possession by a convicted felon. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes, who also mandated that Jackson serve three years on supervised release following his incarceration.
The sentencing was announced by U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr., and Chief Pamela A. Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). The case stemmed from a search conducted on September 18, 2023, when MPD officers executed a warrant at a location where Jackson was residing. Officers found a Glock-style ghost gun—a Privately Manufactured Firearm (PMF)—in a backpack Jackson had been observed carrying.
The seized weapon, a 9mm firearm, was loaded with one round in the chamber and 12 rounds in a 17-round capacity magazine. Further investigations into Jackson's criminal record showed that he was under supervised release in D.C. Superior Court due to a prior gun-related offense. Jackson was arrested, and DNA testing later confirmed his DNA on the weapon.
The investigating body was the MPD, and the case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney James B. Nelson.
