A San Ramon man was sentenced earlier this week to 40 months in prison for illegally possessing a firearm and ammunition in 2021 after being put on a supervised release program and then being involved in two shootings in 2023, one of which resulted in him being shot.
Rashad Shambray-Jones, 30, previously pleaded guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, back on Oct. 6, 2021.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California, Shambray-Jones crashed a vehicle into a fence on federal property on Jan. 31, 2021. Responding police found a firearm and 19 rounds of ammunition on the front floorboard of the driver’s side of the vehicle.
Shambray-Jones was arrested for unlawfully possessing the firearm and ammunition due to his prohibited status as a convicted felon.
After pleading guilty to the charge, Shambray-Jones was placed in the Northern District of California’s Conviction Alternatives Program, a court-administered program entailing intensive supervision of participants before sentencing.
