Two brothers have been indicted for using buses and Uber vehicles to smuggle firearms from South Carolina to New York City, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office announced Wednesday.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance and New York City Police Commissioner James O’Neill said half-brothers Shavar Stuckey, 31, and Levon Jackson, 30, were indicted for selling 105 guns and loads of ammunition to an uncover NYPD officer.
