Straw Purchaser of Gun Used in Police Officer’s Death Sentenced
Indiana Woman Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison for Role In Death. Ashantae Corruthers, an Indianapolis woman, was the second person sentenced to federal prison for their role in procuring a firearm for a known felon by acting as a “straw purchaser” for a person who was legally prohibited from owning a firearm that would ultimately kill a police officer with the weapon. As we have previously covered, a straw purchaser of a firearm is someone who falsely certifies on a form used by the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive (“ATF”) that they are purchasing a firearm for themselves when in fact they plan on transferring or selling the firearm to someone else who would not pass the necessary background check because they are prohibited under law due to their criminal history, immigration status or otherwise. In the case at hand, Corruthers bought the gun at an Indianapolis firearm store in 2020 claiming it was for herself when in fact she had conspired with Regina Lewis to obtain the gun for Darion Lafayette, a felon, and then reported the gun as stolen. In 2021, Lafayette would fatally shoot Officer Christopher Oberheim in Champaign, Illinois when he and another officer, who was also wounded in the attack but survived, were responding to a report of domestic abuse. Regina Lewis, who was cousins with Lafayette, received an 8 ½ year sentence for her role in procuring the weapon which also left Lafayette fatally wounded.
