March 3, 2023

The United States Capitol Police (USCP) confiscated an M-4 style "ghost gun" and a Glock handgun with a full auto switch (machine gun) while they were patrolling the perimeter of the Capitol Complex, near the Senate Parks.

The arrests were made a short walk from the Congressional Buildings and across the street from television studios Members of Congress frequently use.

Yesterday at approximately 11:15 a.m., two USCP officers approached a stolen Acura near E Street & New Jersey Avenue, NW, and ordered the men out of the car. A gun was spotted inside the stolen Acura.

The suspects ran away. One was quickly arrested. Officers followed the second suspect into a nearby apartment building on E Street where the suspect locked himself inside an apartment.

Around 6:30 p.m., the USCP Crisis Negotiation Team talked the suspect into walking out of the apartment.

The suspects were identified as 24 year old Kwame T. Keith of Hyattsville, MD, and 19 year old Justin B. Campos of Landover, MD.

The pending charges include Resisting Arrest, Unlawful Possession of a Machine Gun, Possession of an Unregistered Firearm, Possession of a Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device, Carrying a Pistol without a License, Possession of Unregistered Ammunition, Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle, Felon in Possession, and Distribution of a Controlled Substance.
