Two Northern California men were sentenced and another pleaded guilty to federal crimes targeted by Project Safe Neighborhoods, a law enforcement operation aimed at reducing gun violence.
Sean Robinson, 37, of Stockton, pleaded guilty earlier this month to illegally possessing a firearm. A search of his residence in 2022 yielded a Glock 27 semi-automatic firearm and a loaded magazine inside a vehicle. The gun had been reported stolen out of Sacramento, U.S. Attorney Phillip Talbert’s office said in a statement Monday.
Robinson is barred from possessing weapons after being convicted of elder abuse and for carrying a loaded firearm in public.
Law enforcement began investigating Robinson at least as early as May 2021, when surveillance footage captured him engaging in a violent shootout at the Grand Hyatt Hotel near San Francisco International Airport. During this case, Robinson and a compatriot attempted to carjack at least two other vehicles.
Following the shootout, law enforcement officers seized a black duffel bag that surveillance footage captured Robinson carrying just before the firefight began and contained three illegal firearms.
