NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – On April 7, 2026, David Louis IV, age 23, a resident of New Orleans, was sentenced for being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(8).
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Darrell J. Papillion. Louis was sentenced to 33 months imprisonment, to be followed by three years of supervised release after imprisonment.
The Court’s sentence will run consecutively to a yet to be determined sentence imposed in a pending state prosecution for possessing contraband in jail. The Court’s sentence will also run concurrently with sentences yet to be imposed for probation violations in two separate state court matters, announced U.S. Attorney David I. Courcelle.
Louis’s conviction stems from a federal investigation into the possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The details surrounding the case are not specified.
The sentence was a result of a collaborative effort between federal and local law enforcement agencies. The U.S. Attorney’s Office praises the work of these agencies in bringing Louis to justice.
This case serves as a reminder of the severe consequences of violating federal laws related to firearm possession. The U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to work tirelessly to ensure public safety and uphold the law.
