HARRISBURG, PA.- A 30-year-old Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, man is potentially facing spending the rest of his life in federal prison after being indicted on illicit narcotics and firearms offenses.
On Thursday, May 1, 2025, a Federal Grand Jury for the Middle District of Pennsylvania returned an indictment, charging Kyree Ross, 30, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with Possession with Intent to Distribute Crack Cocaine; Possession of a Firearm in Furtherance of a Drug Trafficking Crime; Possession of a Firearm with an Obliterated Serial Number; and two counts of Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person, Convicted Felon.
According To The U.S. Attorney’s Office
According to Acting U.S. Attorney John C. Gurganus and charging information unsealed in the indictment, it is alleged that on April 20, 2022, Ross possessed a firearm with an obliterated serial number. The indictment further alleges that on November 30, 2024, Ross possessed with the intent to distribute 28 grams of crack cocaine and possessed a firearm in furtherance of the drug trafficking of crack cocaine.
The indictment also alleges that Ross possessed a firearm and ammunition by a prohibited person for being a convicted felon.
Acting U.S. Attorney Gurganus commended the investigative work of the Harrisburg Bureau of Police, the Pennsylvania State Police, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives for the investigation in securing an indictment of Ross.
If convicted at trial, Ross faces a maximum of life in federal prison, a term of supervised release, and a fine. A U.S. district court judge would determine any sentence imposed upon a finding of guilt based on the seriousness of the offenses and Ross’ prior criminal history.
