San Jose police detectives have arrested a 19-year-old man for making illegal guns in his San Jose home and brazenly marketing them on social media.
The arrest of Lucien Cabrera, 19, followed a nearly two-month investigation by the police department’s Gun and Hazardous Offender Suppression Team (GHOST), which had followed a trail of social media posts since late October.
Detectives said Cabrera used a social media account to buy and sell illegal firearms.
Many of the illegal firearms being sold were privately made firearms, commonly referred to as ghost guns, police said. Detectives said Cabrera was also importing high capacity magazines from Florida and Nevada to sell in San José.
In an attempt to solicit potential buyers, Cabrera would send videos of himself discharging the illegal firearms in public places in the city of East Palo Alto and city of San José. In the videos, Cabrera can be seen discharging a firearm in open fields, residential properties and also on a school campus in San José, according to a police department press release.
“The social media account also revealed evidence of the suspect brandishing a firearm at a local San José mall,” police said.
On Dec. 18,, with the assistance of the department’s MERGE Unit, Violent Crimes Enforcement Team, METRO Unit, Gang Investigation Unit and Assaults Unit, detectives located and arrested suspect Cabrera in San José. Cabrera was booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail for various crimes including possession of illegal firearms, manufacturing and selling illegal firearms and discharging a firearm in a school zone.
Anyone with information about this case or similar cases is asked to contact Detective Epperson #4554 of the San José Police Department GHOST via email at 408-277-4161.
I wonder if that full grow adult went to City Hall and registered his fire-arms and got insurance on them?
Prior to his arrest, the SJPD GHOST teams broke into this person home to confirm he had the firearms in his possession without a warrant. They probably killed his dog if he had any. Once he is bailed out, he will be under SJPD 24/7 surveillance. They will harass him the entire time and especially prior to any further court dates. This is how police with the SJPD conduct their investigations.
Kid is Federally F’d. He will be 50 years old before he see another school ground to openly test fire his guns. Good on SJPD for locking this dingbat up.
Listen to this boot licker. Everyone should be able to make their own gun, knife, stick, whatever, unless of course you hate American and her Constitution.
