WASHINGTON — Antoine Gatling, 33, a previously convicted violent felon, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court to 36 months in prison in connection with his unlawful possession of a .380-caliber semi-automatic pistol, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro. Gatling was found guilty following a stipulated trial before Judge Richard J. Leon of one count of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon. In addition to the 36-month prison term, Judge Leon ordered Gatling to serve three years of supervised release. Federal prosecutors had requested a 37-month prison term. According to court papers, on March 1, 2024, at about 9:04 a.m., a 911 caller reported a man trying to break into an apartment in the 4500 block of 3rd Street SE, describing him as wearing a black jacket, black pants, and black-and-white shoes, carrying a black bag, and armed with a handgun tucked into his waistband. Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to the scene. The first officer arrived at about 9:11 a.m. and found Gatling in the doorway of the apartment complex, matching the caller's description. The officer asked Gatling to step outside for a pat-down. As the officer reached a satchel worn across Gatling's back, Gatling began to resist. Additional officers responded, and Gatling was handcuffed. Officers removed the satchel and felt the outline of a firearm inside. Inside, they found a .380 Llama semi-automatic pistol. A further search of Gatling's clothing turned up a round of ammunition and a loaded magazine. Gatling was previously convicted of robbery with a dangerous weapon in Prince George's County, Maryland, for which he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with 13 years suspended, followed by five years of probation. The investigation was conducted by the Metropolitan Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Washington Field Office. The matter was prosecuted under the Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful initiative by Assistant U.S. Attorney Nickolas Reck. Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful is a law enforcement initiative in support of President Trump's Executive Order to crack down on gun violence, prioritize federal firearms violations, pursue tougher penalties, and seek detention for federal firearms violators. 25cr125 Follow us on X , Instagram , and YouTube Or at https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc
