A 22-year-old man from Queens, Lianu Luis Brown Delgado, was indicted on multiple charges after authorities discovered a significant stash of homemade ghost guns and ammunition in his Rosedale home. The 51-count indictment includes possession of seven completed ghost guns, a .380-caliber Ruger, eight 3D-printed Glock-style frames, and over 100 rounds of ammunition, as reported by the Queens District Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n
Queens DA Melinda Katz expressed deep concern over Delgado’s arsenal, which she described as a danger to public safety. \u201cAs alleged, the defendant amassed a significant collection of ghost guns and 3D-printed weapon parts in his Queens home, placing countless lives in danger,\u201d she stated. Katz emphasized that individuals involved in the manufacturing of illegal firearms should redirect their efforts in lawful ways, highlighting the commitment of law enforcement to mitigate the risks associated with these untraceable weapons.<\/p>\n
The investigation leading to Delgado’s arrest spanned seven months and aimed to address the growing issue of illegal gun production in the area. Following a search warrant executed at his home, Delgado faced multiple charges linked to the illegal possession and sale of firearms and ammunition. He was ordered to remain in custody without bail, with a court appearance scheduled for November 10.<\/p>\n
Delgado’s case is part of a broader crackdown on illegal weapons in the New York metro area, following significant arrests, including that of a reputed ghost gun kingpin in Long Island earlier in July who was charged with possession of over 100 guns and multiple 3D printers.<\/p>\n
