A federal grand jury in Louisville returned an indictment charging a Louisville man with 2 counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
According to the indictment, on June 3,2023, Daiquan Walker, 28, possessed a Springfield, Model XD-9, 9-millimeter caliber pistol and ammunition, and on October 19, 2023, he possessed a Glock, Model 19GEN5, 9-millimeter pistol, an Anderson, Model AM-15, multi-caliber pistol, and ammunition. Walker was prohibited from possessing a firearm because he had previously been convicted in 2017 of robbery in the second degree (2 counts), tampering with physical evidence, and criminal mischief in the first degree.
Walker made an initial court appearance on December 27 before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. Walker remains detained pending trial. If convicted, Walker faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors.
There is no parole in the federal system.
This case is being investigated by HSI and LMPD with the assistance ATF.
