Buffalo man arrested on gun charge
Aden Ibrahim, 29, of Buffalo, NY, was arrested and charged by criminal complaint with being a felon in possession of ammunition, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy C. Lynch, who is handling the case, stated that on the morning of July 9, 2025, Buffalo Police responded to a Woodette Place residence for a report of an "Unwelcomed Guest.†Upon arrival, the complainant told officers that an individual known as "Beano†refused to leave the residence. The complainant also stated that "Beano†was in possession of crack cocaine and a firearm. Officers later observed "Beano,†exit the residence and attempt to flee on foot. He was in possession of a U.S. Permanent Resident Card identifying him as Aden Ibrahim. Detectives were then called to the residence, where they observed in plain view a revolver with tape on the handle lying on the floor in a bedroom. The complainant stated that "Beano†was staying in the room and that all the contents in the bedroom belonged to him.
Detectives subsequently executed a search warrant at the residence, seizing a revolver, ammunition, approximately 26 grams of suspected crack cocaine base, and drug paraphernalia. Ibrahim was convicted of felonies in March 2022 and January 2024 and is legally prohibited from possessing ammunition.
Ibrahim made an initial appearance before U.S. District Judge Michael J. Romer and was detained.
