The federal charges are set to be filed later Thursday against 24-year-old Enrique Marquez, a former neighbor of Syed Farook and his relative by marriage.
Federal prosecutors are expected to bring weapons charges against a friend of San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook who investigators say purchased two assault-style rifles that were used in the deadly attacks.
The charges are set to be filed later today against 24-year-old Enrique Marquez, a former neighbor of Farook and his relative by marriage, CNN and NBC reported Thursday morning, citing sources familiar with the investigation.
FBI officials said Marquez legally bought two AR-15s three years ago for Farook as a favor because the US-born health inspector was worried that he would not pass a background check had he tried to buy the weapons himself.
