ATF Press Release

WASHINGTON – A Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives led Homeland Security Task Force investigation has resulted in federal indictments against 20 individuals, including five members of the GoodFellas criminal street gang and four convicted felons, on firearms and drug trafficking charges tied to the alleged theft of nearly 1,500 firearms from shipping facilities in Conley and Macon, Georgia.

“Stealing nearly 1,500 firearms and pumping guns and drugs into our communities is not just brazen criminal conduct, it is an attack on public safety,” said ATF Atlanta Field Division SAC Benjamin Gibbons. “The GoodFellas gang and their associates allegedly flooded the streets with firepower capable of fueling violence across multiple states and even beyond our borders. ATF will not allow criminal organizations to profit from endangering our communities. As this investigation shows, our agents, working alongside our federal, state, and local partners, move swiftly to disrupt illegal firearms pipelines. If you steal guns, traffic guns, or arm violent gangs, ATF will find you, we will dismantle your operation, and you will be held accountable.”

“Gang‑related firearms trafficking and drug trafficking pose a grave threat to our community,” said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. “Criminal networks that move guns and narcotics fuel violence, undermine neighborhoods, and endanger innocent lives. Using every lawful tool available, my office and our law enforcement partners in the Homeland Security Task Force are committed to eliminating these criminal enterprises, holding offenders accountable, and protecting law-abiding Georgians.”

According to U.S. Attorney Hertzberg, the charges, and other information presented in court: The GoodFellas is an Atlanta-based gang that primarily recruits members in Atlanta neighborhoods as well as jails and prisons within Georgia. The gang generates money through, among other criminal activities, drug trafficking, robbery, carjacking, fraud, and firearms trafficking. The gang protects its operation, turf, and reputation through violence and threats of violence.

“The sheer amount of stolen guns and drugs these individuals were allegedly dealing with is alarming,” said Richard Bilson, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “The FBI will continue to prioritize investigations like these so that Georgians will be able to live without fear of either themselves or their loved ones becoming a victim of the violence used or drugs peddled by these street gangs and their associates.”

On Nov. 29-30, 2025, Tremaine Snell, Tarik Winfrey, and Daveon Stillwell allegedly broke into a shipping facility in Conley, Georgia and stole 724 Glock pistols. On Dec. 2, 2025, Devarrio Burns and Christopher Billings, both of whom are GoodFellas members, sold two of the stolen pistols to an undercover ATF agent.

On Jan. 10, 2026, Snell allegedly broke into a shipping facility in Macon, Georgia and stole 469 firearms. On Jan. 16, 2026, Snell and Stillwell sold an undercover ATF agent four firearms taken during the Conley and Macon burglaries.

On Jan. 16, 2026, Snell, Winfrey, and GoodFellas member Marquez Crews allegedly broke into the same Macon shipping facility and stole 293 firearms. The next day, agents recovered three of the stolen firearms from Calvin Washington’s South Fulton residence. On Jan. 23, 2026, Crews, assisted by Snell, Temeka Camiel, and Matthew Gaskin, sold 14 of the stolen firearms to an undercover ATF agent. On April 1, 2026, agents seized from convicted felon Shanteria Horton an eighteenth firearm taken from the Macon facility.

During a traffic stop on Feb. 19, 2026, law enforcement encountered convicted felons Samdrekas Floyd and Antonio Thomas and allegedly seized firearms from both of them.

On May 13, 2026, the ATF, FBI and other law enforcement agencies executed search warrants at 12 locations in the Atlanta area allegedly associated with the GoodFellas gang. Across all locations, agents seized approximately 24 kilograms of methamphetamine, 22 kilograms of marijuana, 40 grams of cocaine base, 27 grams of fentanyl, and a pill press used to manufacture counterfeit pills. Additionally, agents seized firearms from Samuel Harris, Joseph Sutton, Deanthony Cole, and Demontra Williams, all of whom are convicted felons.
