Justice Department charges man accused of selling gun to Old Dominion University shooter
Kenya Chapman faces federal charges for selling a stolen gun with an obliterated serial number to Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, barred from firearms due to a terrorism conviction.
- On Friday, the Justice Department charged Kenya Chapman with selling the gun used by Mohamed Bailor Jalloh in a Thursday classroom attack at Old Dominion University.
- Chapman told agents he stole the gun from a car in Newport News about a year before and recently sold it to Jalloh, who said he needed it for protection, court papers say.
- Jalloh pleaded guilty in 2016 to attempting to aid the Islamic State, was sentenced to 11 years, and released from federal custody in December 2024 on supervised release.
- ROTC students at Old Dominion University subdued and killed Jalloh, an action praised by the FBI, but the attack killed Lt. Brandon Shah, 42, slain ROTC instructor from Chesapeake, and injured two others.
- Investigators say the firearm with an obliterated serial number complicates tracing and will require re-surfacing the number, while federal investigators probe unclear sentence-reducing credits linked to Jalloh.
