District Attorney Larry Krasner said on May 4, the Gun Violence Task Force spotted Kobe Artis giving a pistol and a handgun to a person who is not authorized to carry them.<\/p>\n

“Walking around like a one-man army is absolutely intimidating, frightening, disturbing and troubling to witness,” Krasner said. “His unlawful actions will be appropriately prosecuted and he will be held accountable.”<\/p>\n

“I’m grateful he is off the streets because our community is a little safer tonight. One less illegal weapon off our streets is one step closer to the safer environment that Kensington residents deserve,” Councilmember Quetcy Lozada said. “Automatic weapons do not belong on our streets, and we must be loud and clear about this.”<\/p>\n

Artis is charged with illegal transfer of firearms and other offenses.
