Convicted Felon Pleads Guilty in NH Firearm Case

Manchester, NH – A Manchester man, Reda Shehabeldin, 26, has pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young announces.

U.S. District Court Judge Samantha Elliott has scheduled sentencing for July 12, 2023. Mr. Shehabeldin was indicted on January 10, 2023, following an investigation led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (“ATF”) and the Manchester Police Department.

According to court documents, on July 15, 2022, Shehabeldin was identified in a video posted by another individual on SnapChat holding a Glock, model 30 Gen 4 .45 caliber subcompact pistol. At the time, he was a convicted felon, having been convicted in January 2022 in Hillsborough County Superior Court for reckless conduct, a class B felony offense under the state laws of New Hampshire.

The charging statute provides a sentence of no greater than 15 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a maximum fine of $250,000.00. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (“PSN”), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.

The investigation was led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (“ATF”) and the Manchester Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys John Kennedy and Geoffrey Ward are prosecuting the case.

Reda Shehabeldin is set to be sentenced on July 12, 2023. The case is part of the ongoing effort to reduce violent crime and gun violence in New Hampshire communities.
