A Sioux Falls man is headed to federal prison after being convicted of possessing a firearm as a prohibited person.
Uver Revolorio-Hernandez, 50, of Sioux Falls, was sentenced to 7 years and 3 months in federal prison on May 6, 2024, for Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person, announced U.S. Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell.
Revolorio-Hernandez, an illegal alien and convicted felon, was arrested on July 31, 2023, after threatening and shooting at a neighbor and the neighbor’s six-year-old child. He shot at them four times from his vehicle while he drove away from the scene.
Law enforcement located two spent 9mm shell casings outside of the victim’s residence and one bullet inside the victim’s residence, which had penetrated three walls of the home. When officers encountered Revolorio-Hernandez in his vehicle, he was intoxicated and in possession of a loaded Hi-Point 9mm handgun with an obliterated serial number and two spent 9mm casings.
Revolorio-Hernandez is prohibited from possessing a firearm due to his status as an illegal alien and a convicted felon. He was previously convicted of Assault – 2nd Degree Dangerous Weapon (Felony) on March 17, 2008, in Scott County, Minnesota.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a Department of Justice program aimed at reducing violent crime. The case was investigated by the City of Sioux Falls Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Ebert prosecuted the case.
Revolorio-Hernandez was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service to continue serving his sentence. He was also ordered to pay $100 as a statutorily required special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
