Overview
- A jury in Minnesota returned the guilty verdict Thursday, and a judge will set sentencing as Amiir Mawlid Ali faces up to 10 years in prison.
- Police said a June 3, 2025 traffic stop in Minneapolis turned up a Glock with a conversion switch and a 33-round magazine under Ali’s seat, and an expert testified the modified pistol fired 15 rounds in two seconds.
- The FBI investigated and Justice Department prosecutors tried the case, emphasizing that possession of switch‑modified firearms will be prosecuted.
- Jail records show Ali was released June 5 after Hennepin County prosecutors deferred charging to await forensic testing results.
- Ali was arrested again June 6 at Burnsville High School’s graduation response, and CBS reports Dakota County filed drive-by shooting and assault counts while KSTP reports he was not charged in that incident.
