Ramsey Guerrero, Illegal Firearms Possession, Texas 2025

Repeat Felon Sentenced to 10 Years in Federal Prison

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - A 38-year-old Corpus Christi resident has been ordered to federal prison for possession of a firearm, announced U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei.

Ramsey Guerrero pleaded guilty on October 23, 2025. U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos has now ordered Guerrero to serve 120 months in federal prison to be immediately followed by three years of supervised release.

Guerrero's lengthy criminal history was cited as a factor in the sentence. This includes three prior state convictions for being a felon in possession of a firearm. On June 10, 2025, authorities conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle Guerrero was driving.

They noticed the odor of marijuana and requested to search the car. Guerrero refused, fled the scene and eventually crashed his vehicle into a field near the highway before escaping on foot. Inside the car, authorities found two pistols, a rifle and a shotgun, as well as nearly 300 rounds of ammunition, a full set of body armor, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

Law enforcement eventually located Guerrero as the passenger in a parked car and attempted to arrest him based on his active warrants. When officers approached, he resisted, and authorities discovered Guerrero had another loaded firearm located directly beneath his seat.

As a convicted felon, Guerrero is prohibited from possessing firearms per federal law. He has been and will remain in custody pending transfer to a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted the investigation with the assistance of U.S. Marshals Service and Texas Department of Public Safety. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ashley Martin prosecuted the case.
