The Department of Justice charged the man accused of selling a firearm to the Old Dominion University shooter, who had already been convicted of supporting terrorism.

Feds charged Kenya Chapman Friday for allegedly carrying out the sale to Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former National Guard soldier who was previously convicted of supporting ISIS, but released early in 2024 after completing a drug program, according to the Associated Press.

Jalloh, 36, killed an ROTC professor, who was a decorated war hero, during the Thursday attack. Two other service members were injured before heroic students intervened to subdue him.

Chapman told authorities that he had no idea Jalloh planned to carry out the attack, the news outlet reported. He faces charges for making a false statement during a firearm purchase and engaging in the business of firearms dealing without a license.

Chapman said he stole the gun from a car in Newport News, Virginia, about a year ago, before he recently sold it to Jalloh, the Associated Press reported. After the pair met at work, Jalloh told Chapman he needed a gun for protection as a delivery driver. Chapman said he knew Jalloh was previously incarcerated, but claimed he didn’t know of his past felony conviction.

It’s not the first time Chapman has been the subject of a federal investigation, according to the Associated Press. In 2021, federal authorities issued Chapman a “straw purchaser warning letter.”

Chapman later sent an apology letter admitting to selling guns to buyers who intended to give the firearms to people who can’t legally purchase them, per the AP.

The serial number on the gun Jalloh allegedly used Thursday was partially destroyed. Authorities combed through phone records, finding that Chapman and Jalloh had multiple calls in the week before the shooting.

For his terrorism case, Jalloh was sentenced to 11 years behind bars and an additional five years of supervised release. He was released early in 2024 for completing a drug program, according to the AP.

He was convicted after traveling to Africa with his father in 2015, where he met with an ISIS recruiter, according to NBC4. He later went to Sierra Leone to stay with the group’s facilitator and made plans to visit Libya to join the terrorist organization, but that never happened.

He also went to Niger to join ISIS and even boarded a truck full of other terror recruits, but bailed out after 18 hours, according to NBC4.

At one point, he sent $500 to a man he believed was an ISIS member, who was actually an undercover FBI agent.

In October 2016, Jalloh pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material support to ISIS.

Jalloh, who is a naturalized American citizen from Sierra Leone, stormed the ROTC classroom Thursday, shooting the professor several times, according to the New York Post.

The instructor died at the hospital, according to the news outlet.

“A group of brave students … stepped in and subdued” Jalloh, FBI Director Kash Patel said Thursday.

“The FBI is now investigating the shooting as an act of terrorism. Our Joint Terrorism Task Force is fully engaged, embedded with local authorities, and providing all resources necessary in the investigation,” Patel said.

The attack happened hours before a man rammed a vehicle into a Michigan synagogue and opened fire on the building before meeting his demise.
