Lomere Holliman, a 23-year-old from Syracuse, New York, was involved in a sinister plot to sell fentanyl and firearms in the city. Between March and September 2025, Holliman repeatedly sold guns, ammunition, high-capacity magazines, and fentanyl, using his firearm sales to fuel his drug trafficking business. The crimes took place in Syracuse, where Holliman’s actions put the community at risk. On July 8, 2026, Holliman faced the consequences of his actions.
Holliman’s guilty plea revealed the extent of his crimes, which included possessing and distributing fentanyl and carrying a firearm during those crimes. The defendant’s blatant disregard for public safety is evident in his trafficking of both dangerous firearms and fentanyl.
Law enforcement agencies, including the ATF and the Syracuse Police Department, worked together to bring Holliman to justice. First Assistant U.S. Attorney John Sarcone and ATF Special Agent in Charge Bryan DiGirolamo announced the sentencing, which sends a clear message to those who profit from illegally trafficking guns and fentanyl.
The sentence of 75 months in prison reflects the seriousness of Holliman’s crimes. As Chief Mark Rusin stated, the sentencing sends a clear message that those who traffic deadly narcotics and illegally sell firearms will be held accountable.
