A federal grand jury has indicted Jeffrey Omar Delgado-López on two counts, charging him with possession of a machinegun and being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition. The announcement was made by W. Stephen Muldrow, United States Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico. The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) is leading the investigation, directed by Special Agent in Charge Devin J. Kowalski.
According to government allegations, on June 1, 2025, Delgado-López was found with a Glock pistol model 19 loaded with 31 rounds of ammunition and an additional 42 rounds of 9mm ammunition while being a convicted felon.
The indictment further claims that Delgado-López possessed a machinegun, specifically a modified Glock pistol model 19 capable of firing automatically more than one shot without manually reloading through a single trigger function.
“Fighting gun violence remains a top priority for our office and the Justice Department and, as this case shows, we are steadfast in our commitment to prosecute those who violate federal firearms laws,” stated W. Stephen Muldrow.
“Jeffrey Omar Delgado-López was under federal supervised release, and he chose to break the law again--arming himself illegally in the streets of Mayagüez. This is unacceptable,” said Devin J. Kowalski. “Crushing violent crimes also means preventing them. We will not allow armed felons to operate in our communities.”
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Carlos J. Romo-Aledo and Alberto R. Lopez Rocafort are prosecuting the case. If convicted, Delgado-López could face up to fifteen years in prison.
It is important to note that an indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
