Court documents said Melvin Doyle, a convicted felon and father of rapper Mello Buckzz, whose birth name is Melanie Doyle, was indicted on federal gun charges Tuesday.
According to an affidavit, just before 4:30 p.m. on May 20, 2025, Doyle sold a Glock pistol to two ATF confidential informants for $800. The transaction happened at Doyle’s home in the Washington Park neighborhood on the city’s South Side.
The informants had reportedly talked with Doyle over the phone and sent text messages to him to arrange the sale. Among the details shared over the phone and through text messages were the price and pictures of the guns.
After he sold the gun in May, Doyle allegedly said he had more guns and would call them when they were available, according to court records.
Over the next two months, court documents said Doyle sold an additional 12 guns to the undercover informants.
Investigators allege it’s not the first time Doyle sold a gun and wrote in court documents that one of the confidential informants previously bought a gun from him in about 2022.
It’s unclear if any of those alleged gun sales are related to the mass shooting.
Court documents also indicate Doyle is a convicted felon, having been convicted of attempted murder in 1998. He was also convicted of drug charges in 2003 and 2006.
