Malcolm Akeem Holloway, a 22-year-old from Tallahassee, Florida, has been indicted for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The charge stems from a joint investigation by Homeland Security Investigations, the Tallahassee Police Department, the United States Marshals Service, and the United States Postal Inspection Service. Holloway’s indictment is part of the Homeland Security Task Force initiative, which aims to eliminate criminal organizations and protect the American people. The indictment was announced by John P. Heekin, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.
Holloway appeared in federal court for his arraignment before United States Magistrate Judge Martin A. Fitzpatrick in Tallahassee, Florida. His jury trial is scheduled for July 20, 2026, at 8:30 am before District Court Judge Mark E. Walker. If convicted, Holloway faces up to 15 years in prison.
The Homeland Security Task Force initiative is a whole-of-government partnership that targets criminal cartels, foreign gangs, transnational criminal organizations, and human smuggling and trafficking rings. The initiative places special emphasis on investigating and prosecuting those engaged in child trafficking or other crimes involving vulnerable populations.
The case against Holloway is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney James A. McCain. An indictment is merely an allegation by a grand jury that a defendant has committed a violation of federal criminal law and is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial, during which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.
