CHICAGO - A Chicago man has been sentenced to four years in federal prison for illegally possessing a gun and pointing it at multiple people during an altercation last year.
Julian Almanza, 22, pleaded guilty earlier this year to a federal charge of illegal possession of a firearm.
On Jan. 14, 2021, Almanza was in an altercation in Humboldt Park and pointed a gun at multiple individuals, prosecutors said.
Chicago officers arrived on scene, and Almanza slid the firearm under a truck.
