ATHENS, Ga. - Five people face federal charges for allegedly running an illegal firearms trafficking network that funneled weapons from Georgia to street gangs in Chicago. 

U.S. Attorney William R. "Will" Keyes announced the 23-count indictment, which connects several smuggled weapons to acts of violence, including a murder. 

Athens weapons pipeline

A federal indictment unsealed last Tuesday charges Anthony Edmond, Rafael Enriquez, Elijah Lucena, Keontice Reed, and Melvin Griffin with running an interstate gun ring. Prosecutors said Edmond bought dozens of firearms from Georgia gun shops on behalf of Chicago gang members. 

Edmond traveled from Georgia to Illinois to transport the weapons, which were shared with members of the Black Disciples, Conservative Vice Lords, and Mickey Cobras. The co-conspirators used social media and coded terms like "pipes," "straps," and "blicks" to coordinate their operations over the phone. Enriquez also supplied Edmond with conversion devices, referred to as "Nintendos," to turn semi-automatic handguns into fully automatic weapons.

THE GRAND JURY CHARGES:

At all times material to this Indictment:

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

The manner and means used to accomplish the objects and purposes of the conspiracy

included, among other things:

1. Defendants RAFAEL ENRIQUEZ, ELIJAH LUCENA, KEONTICE REED, and

MELVIN GRIFFIN and others, known and unknown to the Grand Jury, asked Georgia resident

and co-defendant ANTHONY EDMOND to make numerous "straw purchases" of firearms

ICase 3:26-cr-00006-TES-CHW Document 1 Filed 04/15/26 Page 2 of 57

from gun stores in the Middle District of Georgia and elsewhere. The firearms purchased by

ANTHONY EDMOND were then primarily transported and distributed to criminal street gang

members residing in and around Chicago, Illinois.

2. ANTHONY EDMOND is a member of the Chicago-based gang known as the

Black Disciples (referred to herein at times as the "BDs") and is an associate of another Chicago-

based street gang known as the Conservative Vice Lords (referred to herein at times as the

"CVLs"). At all times relevant to this Indicbnent, EDMOND, lived in Athens, Georgia within

the Middle District of Georgia. EDMOND is known by certain nicknames including "Chapo"

and "Chapo Barksdale."

3. RAFAEL ENRIQUEZ is a member of the CVLs. At all times relevant to this

Indicbnent, ENRIQUEZ lived in Illinois and was a convicted felon who was prohibited from

possessing firearms. ENRIQUEZ is known by certain nicknames including "Ritchie Rich" and

Ralph.

4. ELIJAH LUCENA is a member of the CVLs. At all times relevant to this

Indictment, LUCENA lived in Illinois and was a convicted felon who was prohibited from

possessing firearms. LUCENA is known by certain nicknames including "Eli" and "GMT Eli"

5. KEONTICE REED is a member of a Chicago-based street gang known as the

Mickey Cobras and is an associate of the CVLs. At all times relevant to this Indicbnent, REED

resided in Illinois, Georgia, and Indiana. REED is known by certain nicknames including

"Manman" and "GMT Manman."

6. MEL VIN GRIFFIN is a member of the BDs and is an associate of the CVLs. At all

times relevant to this Indictment, GRIFFIN resided in and around Chicago and Snellville,

2Case 3:26-cr-00006-TES-CHW Document 1 Filed 04/15/26 Page 3 of 57

Georgia, and was a convicted felon who was prohibited from possessing firearms. GRIFFIN is

known by the nickname, "Memo600."

7. H.S., an unindicted co-conspirator whose identity is known to the Grand Jury was

a resident of Chicago, a convicted felon and an upper-level member of the CVLs, who asked

ENRIQUEZ to acquire guns for him.

8. K.W., an unindicted co-conspirator whose identity is known to the Grand Jury was

a resident of Chicago, a convicted felon and a member of the BDs who asked EDMONDS to

acquire guns for him.

9. From at least March 27, 2020, up to and including on or about November 10, 2021,

ANTHONY EDMOND unlawfully purchased dozens of firearms from federal firearms

licensees ("FFLs") in Georgia for members and associates of the BDs and CVLs. These firearms

were often converted into fully automatic weapons and were used to commit numerous crimes

of violence.

10. ANTHONY EDMOND primarily purchased firearms from FFLs located in the

Middle District of Georgia, that is: Kimberly's Jewelry, Inc. - Duncan and Company, d/b/a

Franklin Gun Shop, located in Athens, Georgia; Athens Gun Club, located in Athens, Georgia;

Triple B Guns and Ammo, located in Colbert, Georgia; Clyde Armory, Inc., located in Athens,

Georgia; and Section 8 Armament, located in Colbert, Georgia.

11. Rules and regulations, promulgated under the authority of Chapter 44, Title 18,

United States Code, govern the manner FFLs are permitted to sell firearms and ammunition.

The rules and regulations governing FFLs require that a person seeking to purchase a firearm

must fill out a Firearm Transaction Record, ATF Form 4473. Part of the Form 4473 requires that

3Case 3:26-cr-00006-TES-CHW Document 1 Filed 04/15/26 Page 4 of 57

the prospective purchaser certify that all his or her answers on Form 4473 are true and correct.

The Form 4473 contains language warning that" answering 'yes' to question 11.a. if [the person

completing the form] is not the actual buyer of the firearm is a crime punishable as a felony ...

and that making any false oral or written statement, ... is a crime punishable as a felony." FFLs

are required to maintain a record, in the form of a completed Form 4473, of the identity of the

actual buyers of firearms sold by the FFLs.

12. On each occasion that ANTHONY EDMOND purchased firearms from FFLs, he

completed an ATF Form 4473 attesting that he was the true buyer or h·ansferor of the firearms,

and that he was not acquiring the firearms on behalf of another person. Each time, EDMOND,

intentionally and materially falsified these forms.

13. In 2020 and 2021, ANTHONY EDMOND made multiple h·ips from Georgia to

Illinois to transport firearms that he purchased in Georgia to members of the BDs and CVLs in

Chicago.

14. In 2021, RAFAEL ENRIQUEZ made multiple trips, and ELIJAH LUCENA made

at least one trip, from Illinois to Georgia to retrieve firearms purchased for them by ANTHONY

EDMOND. The firearms were then transported back to Illinois and provided to criminal street

gang members.

15. Prior to the gun purchases, RAFAEL ENRIQUEZ, ELIJAH LUCENA,

KEONTICE REED, and MELVIN GRIFFIN coordinated with ANTHONY EDMOND over the

phone and through social media to arrange the purchase of specific makes, models and calibers

of firearms. During the conversations, the ENRIQUEZ, LUCENA, REED, and GRIFFIN

frequently used coded or slang terms to refer to firearms, which they called, among other things,

4Case 3:26-cr-00006-TES-CHW Document 1 Filed 04/15/26 Page 5 of 57

"pipes," "straps," "licks," and "blicks." They also used coded language when discussing specific

calibers of guns, such as referring to 10mm pistols as" dimes," .45 caliber pistols as" four nickels"

or just "nickels," 5.7 caliber pistols as "fifty sevens," and 5.56 caliber pistols as" AR pistols."

16. A "machinegun" is defined in26 U.S.C. § 5845(b) and 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(24) as "any

weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically

more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the h·igger. The term shall

also include the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any part designed and intended solely

and exclusively, or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon

into a machinegun, and any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled

if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person."

17. Machinegun conversion devices are small plastic or metal components designed

to convert semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic weapons, enabling rapid fire with a

single trigger pull. Machinegun conversion devices are defined as machineguns under the

National Firearms Act, even when they are not installed on a firearm. Glock manufactured

pistols are the preferred brand of firearms used by criminal street gang members, because they

can easily be converted from semi-automatic to fully automatic firearms ("machineguns")

through the installation of machinegun conversion devices, which when installed on Glock

pistols are commonly referred to as "switches" or "Glock switches."

18. ANTHONY EDMOND was supplied with machinegun conversion devices by

RAFAEL ENRIQUEZ, which EDMOND then installed on several of the Glock pistols that he

distributed. The EDMOND and ENRIQUEZ often used coded terms to refer to machinegun

conversion devices, such as calling them "buttons," due to their appearance when installed on

5Case 3:26-cr-00006-TES-CHW Document 1 Filed 04/15/26 Page 6 of 57

the back of a Glock pistol, and "Nintendos," as a reference to Nintendo Co., Ltd. being the

manufacturer of the Nintendo Switch video game system.

19. EDMOND purchased ammunition at the direction of the conspirators.

20. EDMOND purchased extended magazines and drum magazines at the direction

of the conspirators.

21. EDMOND test-fired the guns in the Athens, Georgia area including while they

were converted to fully automatic functioning and with the magazines inserted.

THE ANTHONY EDMOND GUN PURCHASES

22. From at least September 18, 2020, up to and including on or about July 24, 2021,

ANTHONY EDMOND purchased, at the request of RAFAEL ENRIQUEZ, ELIJAH LUCENA,

KEONTICE REED, and MEL VIN GRIFFIN, at least twenty-two (22) firearms from FFLs in the

Middle District of Georgia. On each occasion, EDMOND filled out an ATF Form 4473 (Firearms

Transaction Record) attesting that he was the true buyer or transferor of the firearms, and that

he was not acquiring the firearms on behalf of another person. In truth and in fact, however,

EDMOND was buying the guns at the direction and on behalf of ENRIQUEZ, LUCENA, REED,

and GRIFFIN.

23. The table below lists the firearms known to law enforcement that were unlawfully

purchased by ANTHONY EDMOND for RAFAEL ENRIQUEZ, ELIJAH LUCENA,

KEONTICE REED, and MEL VIN GRIFFIN from FFLs located in the Middle District of

Georgia. However, as further alleged below, EDMOND made additional straw purchases of

firearms from FFLs located inside and outside of the Middle District of Georgia for other

individuals, known and unknown to the Grand Jury.
