Sacramento At Center Of Untraceable ‘Ghost Gun’ Surge [View all]

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — An untraceable weapon linked to a high-profile crime in Stockton is surging in popularity in Sacramento.

The capital city has become a hotbed for ghost guns, and feds say they can be traced to a Sacramento man known as Dr. Death. He’s awaiting sentencing for helping create the illegal weapons.

Daniel Crowningshield is seen in his shop coaching a customer through the steps to make an untraceable rifle. His shop was so busy, an undercover agent said customers were lined up at the door.

The law allows the hobbyist to make and own unregistered firearms, but not to sell the guns. He was advertising his shop as a place where people could make a gun in 20 minutes by pressing a few buttons with plenty of help from Dr. Death.
