Shakor Daniels, 26, was sentenced to 37 months in prison on February 6, 2025 in Charlotte, NC. Shakor was convicted of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and transfer of a machine gun. Follow Charlotte Alerts on Instagram.
The investigation began on June 13, 2023, when cops stopped Shakor for a traffic violation. Over the course of the traffic stop, officers found two firearms inside the vehicle.
Shakor admitted to possessing a firearm for protection. Court documents show that, in the fall of 2023, law enforcement determined that Shakor was advertising Glock switches for sale on his social media account, which included the tag line “Go fed or go home.”
A Glock switch is an illegal conversion device that enables a conventional semi-automatic pistol to function as a fully automatic firearm. According to court records, on several occasions, undercover ATF agents purchased multiple guns from Shakor, including Glock switches for handguns and a rifle, and a 45 round drum magazine.
On January 14, 2024, Shakor sent an image of a handgun to an undercover ATF agent that Shakor was selling.
The undercover agent agreed to meet Shakor to purchase the firearm. On January 16, 2024, Shakor was arrested when he arrived to sell the firearm to the undercover agent.
Shakor has prior criminal convictions, and he is prohibited from possessing firearms. Shakor is currently in federal custody and will be transferred to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons upon designation of a federal facility.
The ATF investigated the case. Shakor was sentenced to three years of supervised release and 3 years in prison.
