Albuquerque Couple Charged with Federal Firearms Violations
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A local couple, David “Flaco” Chavez, 43, and Ednamay De La Rosa, 38, both of Albuquerque, have been charged with being felons in possession of firearms and ammunition.
According to a criminal complaint, on June 2, agents with the FBI’s Albuquerque Violent Crime Gang Task Force (VCGTF), detectives with the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office and officers from the Albuquerque Police Department executed federal search warrants on Chavez’s and De La Rosa’s residences.
During the search of De La Rosa’s residence, agents allegedly located four firearms and various types of ammunition, as well as a suppressor and a 50-round drum magazine.
At the time of the alleged offenses, Chavez was serving a term of supervised release for a 2014 conviction for possession with intent to distribute heroin and possession of a firearm during, in relation to and in the furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. De La Rosa also has a prior felony conviction for possession with intent to distribute heroin.
Both Chavez and De La Rosa are prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition due to their prior convictions. If convicted, they face up to 10 years in prison.
The Albuquerque VCGTF investigated this case with assistance from the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander Uballez is prosecuting the case.
Chavez was ordered detained pending trial on June 7, while De La Rosa made an initial appearance in court on June 10 and will remain in custody pending a detention hearing scheduled for June 14.
