Police also allegedly recovered a stockpile of illegal guns, high-capacity magazines, silencers, and ammunition in in the defendant’s Richmond Hill home.

District Attorney Katz said, “The scourge of illegal guns in our City has caused bloodshed and heartache. This defendant is accused of taking advantage of the easy access to guns outside of our state in order to bring them into our communities. This is an all-time, too-often issue in our City. We will now seek to bring this defendant to justice for his alleged crimes.”

McCormick, of 85th Drive in the Richmond Hill neighborhood of Queens, was arraigned in night court Tuesday before Queens Criminal Court Judge Frances Wang. The defendant is charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the second, third and fourth degree, criminal possession of a firearm, make-transport-dispose-deface weapons and dangerous instruments and unlawful possession of pistol or revolver ammunition. Judge Wang remanded the defendant and set his return date for August 20, 2021. If convicted, McCormick faces up to 20 years in prison.

According to the charges, on August 15, 2021 shortly after 10 a.m., the defendant was allegedly observed in Pennsylvania attending the Oaks Gun Show. McCormick allegedly purchased numerous high-capacity magazines, firearm components and ammunition and loaded the items into a Cadillac vehicle. The defendant then drove through New Jersey and crossed the George Washington Bridge into New York City. Shortly after enter ing New York City, the defendant was pulled over by members of the Port Authority Police Department.

During the stop, said the DA, the defendant allegedly told police in sum and substance that everything in the car was his. He was bringing it home and he lives in Queens.

  • 2 switchblades
  • 3 finished upper receivers for pistols
  • 9,991 bullets for various calibers of weapons, including 9mm and .45 caliber firearms

The investigation was conducted by Investigator Jason Robles, of the DA’s Detective Squad, Investigators Al Vasquez and Christian Spears of the New York State Police and Senior Investigator MK Fagan of the New York State Police.
