Federal authorities issued new indictments against three Fort Campbell soldiers, adding nine new defendants, in connection with an illegal gun pipeline to Chicago after firearms found at a mass shooting scene in Chicago were traced to Middle Tennessee purchases, the Nashville U.S. Attorney’s office announced.

Demarcus Adams, 21; Jarius Brunson, 22; and Brandon Miller, 22, all enlisted members of the U.S. Army stationed in Clarksville face multiple federal charges in the case. Eight of the additional defendants live in Chicago, while the ninth is from Davenport, Iowa.

Guns traced to the group have been connected with multiple shootings including a 2021 attack that left one person dead and multiple others wounded in Chicago’s Southwest Side. Two people alleged to be part of the gun-running outfit died as a result of gang violence facilitated by firearms illegally moved to Chicago.
