Rapper Caught With Machinegun in Hospital Sentenced to Over Five Years in Federal Prison

A McDonough man known as rapper “Quez 2RR” has been sentenced to 66 months in federal prison after being found with a stolen Glock modified into a machinegun inside a hospital’s Labor and Delivery unit.

Terrell Monquez Searcy, 21, was sentenced on June 4, 2025, by U.S. District Judge Tilman E. “Tripp” Self after pleading guilty to one count of possession of a machinegun. He will also serve three years of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

On August 17, 2023, Monroe Police responded to Piedmont Walton Hospital after a nurse reported seeing a gun in Searcy’s possession. When hospital security entered the room, Searcy handed over the Glock 17 with a loaded 30-round extended magazine. The weapon had a full auto sear pin on the slide, converting it into a machinegun. The Glock was confirmed stolen from Walton County.

ATF agents later tested the firearm and confirmed it functioned as a machinegun.

Investigators also discovered Searcy had featured a similar firearm with a conversion device in multiple YouTube music videos. In a song titled “Traffic,” Searcy rapped about using a “switch” on the back of his Glock. One video showed him with a pistol in his waistband appearing to have the same conversion device.

During the investigation, agents found Instagram messages from Searcy to a female Clayton County Police Department officer. The officer admitted to providing him information about active warrants and an ongoing homicide investigation. This communication occurred between January and March 2023.

On February 11, 2025, law enforcement executed a federal search warrant at Searcy’s residence. Agents recovered several firearms, including a Micro Draco rifle under Searcy’s bed. The Draco returned hits in the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN), linking it to two drive-by shootings in DeKalb County, where four people, including two juveniles, were shot inside their homes. These incidents occurred days after the officer informed Searcy about the homicide case involving his friend.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), City of Monroe Police Department, Clayton County Police Department, McDonough Police Department, Henry County Sheriff’s Office, DeKalb County Police Department, and Piedmont Walton Hospital Security. Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Peach prosecuted the case.
