A Chicago man has been convicted of a federal gun charge after a two-day jury trial in Indiana.
Hamidullah Tribble, 28, of Chicago, Illinois, was found guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm after a trial before United States District Court Judge Philip P. Simon.
The conviction comes as part of the Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) program, which aims to reduce violent crime and gun violence in communities.
The investigation into Tribble’s activities was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Indiana High Intensity Drug Trafficking Task Force and the Lake County Sheriff’s Department.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kimberly L. Schultz.
Tribble’s sentencing will be scheduled at a later date, with the specific sentence to be determined by the District Court Judge after consideration of federal statutes and the United States Sentencing Guidelines.
The Department of Justice’s PSN program is a collaborative effort between law enforcement and community organizations to reduce violent crime and make neighborhoods safer for everyone. The program focuses on building trust and legitimacy in communities, supporting organizations that prevent violence, and setting strategic enforcement priorities.
The PSN program was launched in May 2021 with a violent crime reduction strategy that includes four core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy, supporting community-based organizations, setting focused enforcement priorities, and measuring results.
Tribble’s conviction is a testament to the effectiveness of the PSN program in reducing gun violence and making communities safer.
