Prosecutors said between May 2021 and October 2021, 28-year-old Gabriel Young-Duncan of St. Paul, illegally purchased multiple firearms with a co-conspirator, including one that was used in the Seventh Street Truck Park Bar shooting on October 10th, 2021.

Court documents said Young-Duncan and a co-conspirator agreed to work together to illegally acquire firearms by making false statements to Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) throughout the Twin Cities.

The co-conspirator would purchase the firearms, stating on the ATF Form 4473 that the co-conspirator was the actual buyer, and then transfer the firearms to Young-Duncan. Young-Duncan would then keep the firearms, or transfer them to third parties.

Young-Duncan and his co-conspirator worked together to illegally obtain dozens of firearms, including four Glock 9mm semiautomatic pistols and two Mossberg 9mm semiautomatic pistols.

Young-Duncan was sentenced Wednesday to 40 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to make false statements in the purchase of firearms in May of this year.
