Jamil Hakime, who has worked as a youth development specialist in the Administration for Children's Services since 2014, allegedly supplied a pistol to Christopher Brown and Matthew Mahrer, who were arrested in November while heavily armed, according to court papers filed in the federal courts of the Southern District of New York. Hakime is charged with multiple federal gun trafficking offenses for his involvement with Brown and Mahrer and for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. Hakime was denied bail in December 2022 and again on appeal in January 2023 because he poses a "danger to the community."
