Albuquerque Man Pleads Guilty to Gun Charges

ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Davon Lymon, 35, of Albuquerque, pleaded guilty today to violating federal firearms laws by unlawfully possessing a firearm on May 27, 2016.

Lymon, a prior felon with convictions for voluntary manslaughter, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon resulting in great bodily harm, fraud, and forgery, faces a statutory maximum penalty of ten years in prison on each of the three firearms charges on which he has been convicted.

The charge to which Lymon entered a guilty plea today is Count 2 of a four-count superseding indictment charging Lymon with violating federal firearms laws. Chief U.S. District Judge M. Christina Armijo previously returned a guilty verdict against Lymon on Count 4 of the four-count superseding indictment on Oct. 28, 2016, which charged Lymon with being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition on Oct. 21, 2015, the day on which he allegedly shot Officer Daniel Webster of the Albuquerque Police Department (APD).

Officer Webster died on Oct. 29, 2015, as a result of injuries he allegedly sustained during the shooting, and Lymon has been charged with murdering Officer Webster in a separate state case. Lymon has yet to answer to the murder charges in state court and is presumed innocent unless found guilty.

The Albuquerque office of ATF and APD investigated the firearms case, with assistance from the Albuquerque office of the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, the New Mexico State Police, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, the Rio Rancho Police Department and the New Mexico Transportation Police Division.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jacob A. Wishard and Kimberly A. Brawley are prosecuting the two federal cases against Lymon as part of a federal anti-violence initiative that targets “the worst of the worst” offenders for federal prosecution.

Lymon also faces a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on the two heroin trafficking charges to which he pleaded guilty on May 9, 2016, without the benefit of a plea agreement. The heroin trafficking case was investigated by the Albuquerque offices of ATF and DEA.
