(Cedar Rapids, IA) — A Cedar Rapids man will spend ten years in federal prison for illegally possessing a gun and firing at a group of teens.
Twenty-four-year-old Dmontrey Redmond was sentenced today (Wednesday) after pleading guilty in July. Court records show Redmond was in a Cedar Rapids alley on November 29th, 2020 and fired a handgun at five teens, striking a parked car. Police responded and found a loaded Glock handgun in Redmond’s home and spent shell casings in the alley. Prosecutors say Redmond went to a gun store in Waterloo six days later and instructed a woman to buy two guns and a box of ammunition for him.
Those handguns were later located in a home where Redmond was staying and a child accidentally discharged one of them and was injured.
