Campbell Man Arrested in Alleged 3D-Printed Ghost Gun Operation With Machine-Gun Conversion Devices

The search followed a domestic-violence probation sweep by the county’s Gun Violence Task Force.

Overview

  • Investigators say they found a 3D printer running in a closet, two loaded guns, three nearly finished firearms and 35 machine-gun conversion devices in the apartment.
  • Prosecutors charged Alfred Amaya, 28, with more than 30 felonies, including manufacturing and possessing machine guns and felony weapon possession.
  • Child endangerment charges were added after officials said weapons and parts were within easy reach of two children living in the home.
  • All seized firearms were categorized as untraceable ghost guns without serial numbers, according to the district attorney’s office.
  • District Attorney Jeff Rosen said the operation was shut down and that Amaya, who was on probation for a domestic violence conviction, was scheduled for arraignment Friday at the Hall of Justice in San Jose.
