A 26-year-old man from Davenport, Iowa, has been sentenced to 96 months in prison for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
Teron Deachon Conley was sentenced on May 3, 2021 in the United States District Court. As part of his sentence, Conley will also serve three years of supervised release and pay $100 to the Crime Victims’ Fund.
The charges against Conley stem from an incident in September 2019, in which multiple shots were fired in the 6300 block of Appomattox Road. Witnesses described Conley as one of the two shooters, and he was later found to be in possession of a firearm.
Conley admitted to possessing the firearm in November 2020, despite being a convicted felon. As such, he was prohibited from possessing firearms, and his actions constituted a serious crime.
The case against Conley was investigated by the Davenport Police Department, and it was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
Conley and two other men were involved in the shooting and left the scene in a tan SUV. They fled from law enforcement and eventually ditched the vehicle, leaving a firearm behind. The gun matched the shell casings found at the scene, and Conley’s actions were a clear violation of the law.
Conley’s sentence is a result of his admission to possessing the firearm, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of stricter gun laws and the need for law enforcement to hold accountable those who break them.
The people of Davenport and Iowa deserve to feel safe in their community, and cases like Conley’s help to achieve that goal.
