Bahamian Pleads Guilty To Gun Smuggling In Florida

FLORIDA – A Bahamian gun trafficker, who sold guns to criminals in The Bahamas, is awaiting sentencing in a Florida jail.

Kingsley Wilson pleaded guilty to dealing in firearms without a license when he appeared before Judge John Anton.

Wilson faces a potential maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment for his crimes.

The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives ATF began investigating Wilson in January 2022 after three guns bought by Wilson in Florida were recovered from crime scenes in The Bahamas.

Between January 2022 and July 2023, Wilson pretended to buy 92 firearms for himself when he was really illegally buying them on behalf of other individuals.
