The Justice Department says more than half of the guns he transferred later surfaced at crime scenes across the Northeast, including a Boston homicide.

- The department said he pleaded guilty to making false statements to law enforcement about transferring firearms he had purchased.

Why it matters: The department’s account links the firearms to multiple crime scenes but does not establish that the man was involved in those crimes.
