Brick Baby’s case is particularly notable due to the federal authorities’ assertion that he is not merely a defendant but potentially a cooperating witness, raising questions about his involvement with law enforcement. The indictment alleges that he was found in possession of a 9mm Luger and was involved in a shooting incident in an LA County parking lot. The federal government is pursuing charges under the premise that the firearm’s interstate origins affect commerce regulations, a tactic often employed in similar cases.
