On Sept. 18, more than five months after Arianna was shot, police executed a search warrant at Gregory’s Southeast apartment. During the search, officers say they found numerous firearms on top of and under beds, inside duffle bags and backpacks, as well as extended magazines, a “giggle switch,” which converts a handgun from semi to fully automatic, a laser sight, and a box of latex gloves.
None of the guns found in the apartment were registered to Gregory, in fact, a Wales/NCIC query revealed that no firearms were registered to that address at all, according to the court documents.
Additionally, investigators reportedly found Maryland tags that belonged to a vehicle taken during an armed carjacking in Prince George’s County in February 2022.
Gregory was arrested and charged with first-degree murder while armed.
In an interview with investigators, Gregory denied any involvement with the shooting that killed Arianna, saying he went out with his mother that evening. He was unsure of the exact time but said it was no longer light outside, according to court documents. He also denied having any nickname and specifically denied having the nickname ‘Ran Ran.’
