Man admits buying guns in KC for shipment to Mexico

More News

An illegal immigrant who shopped area gun shows for weapons that were to be shipped to Mexico pleaded guilty today to illegally possessing a firearm.

Mynor Guerra, 25, a Guatemalan citizen who was living in Overland Park, was arrested at a Kansas City gun show in June by federal agents who confiscated two AR-15 semi-automatic rifles from the trunk of his car. He had a phony Missouri driver’s license and used a fake Social Security number, according to federal prosecutors.

Guerra admitted Wednesday during a hearing in U.S. District Court in Kansas City that he had purchased weapons at gun shows and sold them to another person who delivered them to Mexico.

As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors and the defense will recommend a prison sentence of four years and nine months.
