Oklahoma City Resident Sentenced for Unlawful Possession of Machinegun
Oklahoma City, OK (KOKH) — A 21-year-old resident of Oklahoma City, Genesis Nyrell Young, has been sentenced to 22 months in federal prison for the unlawful possession of a machinegun. The sentencing took place on April 23, 2025, following an investigation by local authorities that raised serious concerns about public safety.
The case unfolded when Oklahoma City police executed a search warrant at a residence connected to Young. During the search, officers found a machinegun conversion device (MCD) concealed in a baby’s crib, a shocking discovery that highlighted the dangerous circumstances surrounding the incident. Additionally, a pistol and an extended magazine were recovered next to the crib, further intensifying the severity of the charges.
Young was arrested and subsequently charged with the unlawful possession of a machinegun. On January 9, 2025, he pleaded guilty to the charges brought against him. This case serves as a stark reminder of the potential risks associated with illegal firearms and the urgent need for responsible gun ownership and handling.
As communities continue to grapple with gun violence, law enforcement agencies remain vigilant in addressing illegal firearms possession. The recovery of the machinegun conversion device, especially in such a precarious location as a child’s crib, underscores the critical nature of these efforts.
