KC cousins accused of illegally selling dozens of firearms

Two Kansas City cousins are facing federal charges after an undercover investigation allegedly discovered they sold dozens of firearms from a south-central Kansas City house.

Both Terry Seward Jr., 30, and Jeron Seward, 26, have prior convictions for being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to documents unsealed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City.

Each is facing a new felon-in-possession charge stemming from a three-month investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

A total of 32 firearms allegedly were sold from a home in the 7200 block of Bales Avenue during 13 transactions, according to the documents.

Some of the weapons had been reported stolen and one was an illegal sawed-off shotgun, the documents allege.
