Alexandria, VA – Najee O. Lewis, aka Bebo, 27, of Stafford, was sentenced to three years in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition after he was caught shoplifting and carrying a loaded handgun.
According to court documents, on December 3, 2023, loss prevention personnel at a department store in McLean observed Lewis shoplifting merchandise. The personnel apprehended Lewis and contacted the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD). FCPD officers responded and recovered a loaded .40 caliber Glock handgun from Lewis’ pants.
The firearm had a round in the chamber and 22 rounds in an extended magazine. Lewis previously was convicted in Prince William Circuit Court of two separate felony robbery offenses that occurred two days apart and was subsequently sentenced at the same time for both offenses.
In May 2018, Lewis was released from incarceration for these robbery convictions and began a 10-year term of supervised probation. Less than four months after his release from incarceration, while still on supervision in Virginia, a music video showing Lewis with a stolen 9mm handgun was posted to YouTube.
Lewis was convicted of illegally possessing a firearm, violating the terms of his pre-existing supervised release. As a convicted felon, Lewis cannot legally possess a firearm or ammunition.
“This sentence reflects the seriousness of the crime and the defendant’s history of violence,” said Jessica D. Aber, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to keep our communities safe from those who would threaten them with firearms.”
Sentencing was announced by U.S. District Judge Rossie D. Alston Jr. Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys Daniel I. Lipkowitz and Noah Sissoko prosecuted the case.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) assisted in the investigation.
