Muskogee, Oklahoma – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma has announced that Gabriel Lee Williams, II, also known as Chi-Chi, age 26, from Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, received a sentence of 140 months in prison for illegal firearm possession.
The charge resulted from an investigation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives along with the Okmulgee Police Department.
Williams pleaded guilty on January 13, 2025, to one count of Felon in Possession of Firearm. Investigators reported that on April 27, 2024, law enforcement found Williams with a 9mm handgun and a .40 caliber handgun after he had been previously convicted of a crime punishable by more than one year in prison.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), which unites various levels of law enforcement and communities to reduce violent crime and gun violence. The program aims to make neighborhoods safer. On May 26, 2021, the department launched a strategy to reduce violent crime by strengthening PSN based on core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in communities, supporting community-based organizations that prevent violence before it occurs, setting focused enforcement priorities strategically, and measuring results.
Chief U.S. District Judge Ronald A. White presided over the hearing at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. Williams will remain under the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service until his transfer to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility to serve his non-paroleable sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Dean Burris represented the United States.
