Gregory P. MangoAn alleged teen gang member’s fifth gun bust landed him behind bars Monday.Raquan Wilson, 19, was remanded by Judge Craig Walker in the Youth Part of Brooklyn Supreme Court after he was arrested last week along with two pals and a loaded SAR 9mm pistol in a fanny pack on the floor of an Uber.
“I did tell Mr. Wilson part of the agreement was no new arrests,” Walker said of the deal allowing Wilson to walk free as he awaited trial for an armed robbery in June 2019. “This was with a loaded firearm in the car. Mr. Wilson is going to be remanded.”
One of Wilson’s pals had claimed ownership of the pistol, but prosecutors said the gun would be tested for DNA and they would be back in court on April 27 when the results come back.
He was cut free when he appeared for that case since it was still unclear to whom the firearm belonged.Walker added, “I want to see what happens with those Queens matters.”
Wilson, an alleged member of the Folk Nation gang who was charged in a murder at age 15, has a total of five pending gun cases.
The teen danced and sang as he entered the courtroom Monday morning, but when the cuffs were slapped on, he turned to his girlfriend in court and they both said, “I love you.”
