Marquis Thomas, 34, Charged with Firearms Charges

Baltimore, Maryland - A federal grand jury indicted Marquis Thomas, 34, of Baltimore, on one count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a prohibited person.

According to the indictment, on October 30, 2025, Baltimore Police Department (BPD) received a call about a domestic-assault involving a firearm. Upon law enforcement’s arrival at the residence, the victim opened the door and told officers that Thomas left the premises. The victim then led law enforcement into the living room and pointed to a handgun on the couch.

Additionally, the victim reported that Thomas hit her in the face three times before pointing a gun at her, saying, “I should kill you right now.”

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office — in partnership with our federal, local, and state partners — works hard to keep firearms out of the hands of those who are not authorized to carry them. This helps prevent violence and saves lives,” Kelly O. Hayes, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, said.

Marquis Thomas is charged with one count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a prohibited person. At the time of the offense, Thomas, a convicted felon, was prohibited from possessing a firearm.

The firearm in question is a Hi-Point JHP .45 Auto Pistol loaded with nine rounds of ammunition. The firearm had an obliterated serial number.

This indictment is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) and Project Safe Home, which aim to reduce violent crime and gun violence in Baltimore.

Marquis Thomas, 34, of Baltimore, is a convicted felon who knowingly possessed a firearm and ammunition by a prohibited person.
