Three illegal East Bay gun dealers pleaded guilty Friday to federal weapons trafficking charges including the sale of nearly 100 firearms including 30 that were purchased in undercover buys.
United States Attorney Stephanie M. Hinds said Troy Elias Walker, David Michael Rembert and Daljit Kamal Singh entered their pleas admitting to a single count of conspiracy to deal firearms without a license.The pleas culminated an investigation by the Justice Department’s Cross-Jurisdictional Firearms Trafficking Strike Force operating in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Singh admitted in his plea agreement that on April 21, 2021, he sold a Smith & Wesson handgun with an obliterated serial number and a conversion switch to an undercover law enforcement agent. Rembert was present at the transaction along with Walker, and Rembert admitted in his plea agreement that he obliterated the serial numbers on the handgun.
Meanwhile, Walker admitted in his plea agreement that on the same day, May 6, 2021, he sold the undercover agent a ghost gun with a Glock slide on it for $1,050.
