Middle District Of Florida Prosecutors Indict 61 Firearms And Violent Crime Defendants During Third Quarter Of 2024 As Part Of Project Safe Neighborhoods Strategy
For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Middle District of Florida
Tampa, FL – United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announced today the results of the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) strategy. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, ending on June 30, 2024, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida indicted 61 defendants. These individuals face federal firearms, narcotics, and violent crime charges. Law enforcement seized approximately 79 firearms associated with these defendants. (See chart for case details)
The U.S. Attorney’s Office also engaged in community outreach efforts aimed at violent crime prevention throughout the year. Members of the Office spoke with hundreds of middle and high school students during the third quarter of 2024 during different presentations and programs. Prosecutors spoke to more than 100 inmates at re-entry events at Lawtey Correctional Institute and Baker Re-Entry Center, two state prison facilities in the Middle District. Prosecutors also spoke to recently released inmates at the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office DISMAS program at the Jacksonville Bridge Community Release Center.
“Our office is committed to reducing violent crime throughout the Middle District of Florida,” said U.S. Attorney Roger B. Handberg. “We will continue working with our law enforcement partners and community stakeholders as part of our joint effort to make our communities safer.”
PSN is the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts. This evidence-based program has proven to be effective at reducing violent crime by engaging a broad spectrum of stakeholders working together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in communities and developing comprehensive solutions that reduce crime. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses on prevention and intervention efforts through community engagement and problem-solving partnerships, strategic enforcement of the most violent offenders, and locally based re-entry programs to reduce recidivism.
Q3 PSN case highlights:
United States v. Grant Elmore Davis, Jr. (Ft. Myers)
In April 2024, Grant Elmore Davis, Jr. was sentenced to life plus 25 years in federal prison for armed bank robbery, discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Davis, Jr. entered a bank in Fort Myers on October 31, 2023, and discharged a firearm while making verbal demands for money from a teller. After obtaining money from the teller, Davis, Jr. fled the bank but was subsequently apprehended by law enforcement. Davis, Jr. had a prior federal bank robbery conviction in November 2001. This case was investigated by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
United States v. Jose Dominguez (Jacksonville)
In June 2024, Jose Dominguez was charged with making a false statement to a federally licensed firearms dealer. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison. According to the indictment, Dominguez completed the required ATF Form 4473 during the attempted purchase of a firearm from a federally licensed firearms dealer. Dominguez indicated on the paperwork that he had not been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence and that he had not been convicted of a crime punishable by more than one year of imprisonment. According to court records, Dominguez was previously convicted of misdemeanor domestic battery and three crimes punishable by more than one year of imprisonment, including grand theft and two drug offenses. This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
United States v. William Scott Fogg (Ocala)
In May 2024, William Scott Fogg pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. Fogg, a four-time convicted felon in the state system, faces up to 15 years in federal prison when he is sentenced in August 2024. According to court documents, on August 28, 2023, Fogg entered a vehicle driven by a woman with whom he had a romantic relationship. Fogg reached into the vehicle’s center console, removed a pistol, and loaded a round of ammunition. He placed the pistol to his temple, telling the woman that he was “pushed to the edge.” Fogg then threatened to shoot himself, the woman, and her two children, both of whom were in the vehicle. Responding Lake County deputies arrested Fogg and recovered the loaded firearm. This case was investigated by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
In June 2024, Jordanish Torres Garcia, Kevin Ocasio Justiniano, Giovany Crespo Hernandez, and Dereck Alexis Rodriguez Bonilla were each charged with carjacking resulting in death, kidnapping resulting in death, and use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence causing the death of K.A. According to the indictment, the charged individuals aided and abetted each other and others to carjack and kidnap K.A, resulting in the death of K.A. If convicted, each faces a minimum mandatory of life imprisonment or the death penalty. This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, the Drug Enforcement Administration, Homeland Security Investigations, the St. Cloud Police Department, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and the United States Marshal Service.
United States v. Antonio McCray (Tampa)
On June 20, 2024, Antonio McCray was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison—the maximum sentence allowed by law—for possessing a firearm after having been convicted of a felony offense. According to court records, McCray was a member of the “2x” gang in Hernando County. In September and October 2022, McCray planned to carry out a murder against a rival gang member. On at least two occasions, McCray and his fellow gang members went to a residence in Hernando County, ultimately surrounding the house and shooting the windows, front door, and back sliding door. Two minor children were present at the time of the shooting, and bullets came through the window of a 9-year-old girl’s room. In October 2022, law enforcement conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle. McCray was seated in the backseat of the car, and in possession of a Hellcat Pistol. McCray’s DNA was found on the firearm, and FDLE revealed a correlation between the firearm and shell casings recovered from one of the shootings. At the time, McCray had multiple prior felony convictions and therefore was prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition under federal law. This was investigated by the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, with assistance from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
These cases are being prosecuted by the Assistant United States Attorneys in all five divisions throughout the Middle District of Florida. For additional information on Project Safe Neighborhoods, please visit our website: https://www.justice.gov/usao-mdfl/project-safe-neighborhoods-0.
