Lil Zay Osama Indicted in New York & It's Not Looking Good for His Future

In November of 202, Chicago rapper Lil Zay Osama was arrested in New York City after he left his retro-fitted machine gun in his Uber after a trip from Manhattan to Queens.

He did a month in jail before making bail and has since been arrested in Illinois on multiple occasions on multiple charges.

But the gun charge in NYC is the biggest threat to his future as a free man because NYC doesn't play with guns.

Earlier this week, a New York grand jury indicted him for possession of a machine gun and unregistered firearm possession.

He faces up to 20 years when he goes to trial.

After the indictment, the NYPD issued a warning.

"His indictment is a stark reminder that loaded, illegal firearms -– sometimes modified to maximize their deadly potential, as alleged in this case -– continue to be brought into and carried throughout New York City," said New York Police Department Commissioner Edward Caban. "Let me be clear. This behavior will not be tolerated here. The NYPD vows to keep our streets safe from guns and anyone who unlawfully possesses them. I commend and thank the ride-share driver who observed this weapon for doing what we always ask of all New Yorkers. He saw something and he said something, and he possibly saved lives in the process."
