A man convicted of selling guns out of his bedroom to Chicago gang members was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison last week.
David Santiago, 39, pleaded guilty last year to two counts of illegal possession of firearms, the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Northern District of Illinois said in a statement. The sentence was handed down April 15.
Santiago had previously been convicted of multiple felonies and was not legally allowed to possess a firearm, the attorney’s office said.
Prosecutors said Santiago sold guns out of his home in Chicago Lawn, many of which went to people whom he knew were gang members.
