Tampa, FL – United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announces today the results of the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) strategy. During the third quarter, ending on June 30, 2023, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida has prosecuted 107 defendants for federal firearms and violent crime offenses, removing 147 firearms from our streets in the process. The prosecutions include defendants who have been indicted, pleaded guilty, convicted at trial, or who have been sentenced. (See chart for case details.)
The U.S. Attorney’s Office has also engaged in community outreach efforts aimed at violent crime prevention throughout the year. Those efforts in the third quarter involved approximately 200 individuals. These community outreach efforts included presentations to elementary, middle and high school students, meetings with community leaders, and re-entry programs. Middle District of Florida re-entry presentations included federal prosecutors visiting state prisons to speak with inmates nearing their release dates.
“Our office is committed to reducing violent crime throughout the Middle District of Florida,” said U.S. Attorney Roger B. Handberg. “We will continue working with our law enforcement partners and community stakeholders as part of our joint effort to make our communities safer.”
PSN is the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts. This evidence-based program has proven to be effective at reducing violent crime by engaging a broad spectrum of stakeholders working together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in communities and developing comprehensive solutions that reduce crime. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses on prevention and intervention efforts through community engagement and problem-solving partnerships, strategic enforcement of the most violent offenders, and locally based re-entry programs to reduce recidivism.
Q3 PSN case highlights:
United States v. Alex Winters (Ft. Myers)
According to court documents, on May 7, 2020, deputies with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office stopped a car for a traffic violation. After a deputy noted the smell of marijuana, the car was searched. Alex Winters was in the vehicle and beneath his seat, deputies located a loaded 9mm pistol and a fanny pack with distribution amounts of crack cocaine, powder cocaine, and eutylone. Also, inside the fanny pack, deputies found a digital scale, baggies, a drug ledger, and 9mm ammunition. Winters was convicted at trial and later sentenced to 40 years in federal prison.
United States v. Kristopher Ervin and Matthew Hoover (Jacksonville)
On April 21, 2023, a federal jury found Kristopher Ervin and Matthew Hoover guilty of conspiring to transfer unregistered machinegun conversion devices that they referred to as “Auto Key Cards,” and multiple counts of transferring unregistered machinegun conversion devices. Ervin was also convicted of possessing unregistered machinegun conversion devices and structuring cash transactions to avoid currency transaction reporting requirements. According to court records, in January 2021, Ervin’s bank contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to report that employees believed that Ervin was trafficking in machinegun conversion devices. Subsequent investigation revealed that Ervin was running an online business selling machinegun conversion devices, known as lightning links, etched into metal cards, which he referred to as Auto Key Cards.
A lightning link can be dropped into an otherwise legal AR-15 type firearm and convert it into a fully automatic machinegun. Hoover operated a YouTube channel on which he advertised Auto Key Cards. Hoover’s videos advertising the Auto Key Card led to a substantial increase in Ervin’s sales. Ervin sold more than 2,000 Auto Key Cards in only a few months. Ervin compensated Hoover for his advertisements by sending cash through the mail. Sentencing hearings for Ervin and Hoover are scheduled for September 2023.
United States v. Christopher Munroe (Ocala)
On June 15, 2023, Christopher Richard Munroe was sentenced to 4 years and 9 months in federal prison for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. According to court records, on November 14, 2022, law enforcement responded to a call from the owner of a moving company who had discovered his employee, Munroe, had stolen three firearms while packing a residence for customers. Munroe fled when confronted about the missing firearms and was soon located hiding in the landscaping of a nearby business. Munroe had hidden the stolen firearms, seven ammunition magazines, and ammunition in that same location. Munroe had previously been convicted of second-degree murder in New York and was released on parole in 2018. As a convicted felon, he is prohibited from possessing firearm and ammunition under federal law.
United States v. Joel Fonseca Flores (Orlando)
On May 2, 2023, Joel David Fonseca Flores was charged with conspiracy to distribute fentanyl causing death, possession of fentanyl and cocaine with the intent to distribute it, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. According to court records, in April 2022, Flores conspired to distribute fentanyl that resulted in the death of an individual. Flores is further charged with possessing drugs and a firearm on October 3, 2022, following a traffic stop in Orlando. Officers from the Orlando Police Department recovered a loaded firearm and several bags of drugs from inside the vehicle, including cocaine and fentanyl. An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has violated one or more federal criminal laws, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
In June 2023, Keaujay Hornsby was sentenced to 16 years and 6 months in federal prison and Kareem Spann was sentenced to 10 years and 10 months in federal prison for criminal conduct committed by, and on behalf of, the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) group known as the “Robles Park Enterprise.” These crimes included a series of shootings, attempted murder, drug trafficking, fraud, and identity theft. According to court documents,in the early morning of July 19, 2020, Hornsby and other members of the Enterprise congregated outside the Truth Lounge club in Tampa. The streets and sidewalks were flooded with people, including rival gang members in the parking lot outside the club. Spann drove through the crowd, while Hornsby engaged in a verbal altercation with rival gang members. Hornsby then pulled out a firearm and fired into the crowd. The shooting resulted in the injury of at least eight people, including children. Law enforcement later recovered dozens of ammunition casings. Six days later, and in retaliation for the Truth Lounge shooting, three rival gang members ambushed and opened fire on Hornsby and Spann as they exited the International Plaza in Tampa. In total, seven vehicles were struck by gunfire, including two occupied by innocent bystanders. Law enforcement later determined that at least 25 bullets had been fired from three different firearms. On July 27, 2020, while driving in Tampa, Hornsby and Spann followed a rival gang member and later opened fire on a residential street, unleashing dozens of shots at his target. In addition to acts of violence, the Robles Park Enterprise also trafficked in cocaine, marijuana, and firearms. Members of the Robles Park Enterprise also used the personal identifying information (PII) of other persons to submit false applications to claim unemployment benefits to which they were not entitled. In total, the defendants submitted over 200 fraudulent claims, in 20 different states, with an intended loss of approximately $2.8 million dollars. On June 10, 2022, a third member of this conspiracy, Tywon Spann was sentenced to 6 years and months’ imprisonment.
These cases are being prosecuted by the Assistant United States Attorneys in all five divisions throughout the Middle District of Florida. For additional information on Project Safe Neighborhoods, please visit our website: https://www.justice.gov/usao-mdfl/project-safe-neighborhoods-0.
