BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The grimy streets of Jefferson County are echoing with the latest in a series of high-stakes firearm violations. A local man has been slapped with federal charges for illegal possession of a machinegun, according to U.S. Attorney Prim F. Escalona.
De’Corlion Keshaun Robinson, 24, of Bessemer, Alabama, is now staring down the barrel of serious justice after being charged with a single count of possessing a machinegun. The grim details of his crime came to light on August 13, 2025, when authorities uncovered a Glock 10mm pistol fitted with a conversion device that turned it into a deadly machine.
Robinson’s transgression has not gone unnoticed, as the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) and the Birmingham Police Department were swift to investigate. Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel S. McBrayer is now in charge of prosecuting this case with a no-nonsense approach.
It’s important to note that an indictment only contains charges, and defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In the case of Robinson, he will have his day in court, where the evidence against him will be laid bare.
This incident serves as yet another reminder of the ongoing battle against illegal weaponry on the streets of Bessemer and across Alabama. As the community grapples with the realities of gun violence, law enforcement remains steadfast in its efforts to keep the peace and protect innocent lives.
For now, Robinson sits behind bars, his freedom at stake. The grimy details of this crime will undoubtedly be scrutinized as the case moves forward.
