Man Pleads Guilty to Two Carjackings

A man arrested for two carjackings in June pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court, announced U.S. Attorney Trent Shores.

Kameron Todd Myers, 32, pleaded guilty to two counts of carjacking; two counts of carrying, using, and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, and one count of felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.

“Gun crimes mean hard time in the federal system. This guilty plea gets us one step closer to a sentencing hearing. This carjacker was prosecuted as a part of our Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative,” said U.S. Attorney Trent Shores. “PSN is the Justice Department’s flagship program to reduce violent crime, and it’s making a difference in Tulsa.”

Myers admitted in his plea agreement that on June 2 and June 4, 2019, he used force, fear and intimidation during two carjackings. Myers admitted that he pointed a Glock .45 caliber pistol at the vehicles’ owners and threatened to harm them during the crimes. Because he was previously convicted of a felony, Myers is also prohibited from possessing a firearm and ammunition.

The Tulsa Police Department and FBI conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Eric O. Johnston and Mark R. Morgan are prosecuting the case.

Project Safe Neighborhoods is a nationwide federal initiative to disrupt gun violence strategically and comprehensively, using all available enforcement and prosecutive tools.  The initiative involves a partnership of federal, state, and local authorities, uniting their efforts and leveraging existing and new resources. The U.S. Attorney’s Office and its partners tailor their efforts to meet their own district’s unique needs, helping ensure the safety of communities in the Northern District of Oklahoma.
