BALTIMORE, MD (December 11, 2025) – Attorney General Anthony G. Brown today announced the successful resolution of all cases stemming from the violent rideshare carjacking spree that terrorized Baltimore City and Baltimore County in late 2022. The final defendant, Corique Moseley, 17, of Baltimore City, was convicted by a jury on December 8, 2025, following a multi-day trial in Baltimore County Circuit Court.
This marks the conclusion of a complex prosecution involving six defendants responsible for more than 40 violent incidents, including armed carjackings, kidnappings, and armed robberies. The group’s criminal conduct included using Uber and Lyft apps to lure drivers, whom they then carjacked at gunpoint. Victims were often forced into trunks or back seats while the defendants used the stolen vehicles and rideshare accounts to pick up and rob additional passengers. Some victims were held captive for hours while the defendants drained their bank accounts using ATMs and mobile payment apps.
“The survivors of these violent crimes will carry the trauma of what they endured for years to come,” said Attorney General Brown. “These convictions hold these individuals accountable for their senseless violence and hopefully provide some measure of peace to the victims as they continue to heal.”
The final trial resulted in a conviction of at least 30 counts involving six victims. Moseley participated in more than four armed carjackings or armed robberies and was identified by witnesses as having used handguns to force victims to comply with demands for property. On numerous occasions, Moseley and his coconspirators kidnapped victims and transported them to banks or ATMs to withdraw money, threatening to shoot and kill victims and their families if they didn’t comply. On one occasion, two individuals were carjacked and kidnapped at gunpoint. A female victim was sexually assaulted by Moseley while his codefendants forced the second victim to withdraw money from multiple ATMs. Moseley was convicted of a third-degree sexual offense by force or threat of force for his participation in that incident. The victim alleged that Moseley displayed a gun in order to force the victim to engage in multiple sex acts. The victim identified the defendant in a photo array shortly after the incident.
The defendant is facing over 400 years of incarceration based on his convictions, with sentencing to be scheduled some time in early 2026.

“This conviction demonstrates the strength of our collaboration and the relentless work of the dedicated members of the Baltimore Police Department and our partners, who work every day to keep our communities safe,” said Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley. “We have long said that a small number of individuals are responsible for a significant share of crime in our communities, and we will not tolerate this level of violence. Through strong partnerships with the Attorney General’s Office and the FBI, we are able to identify and hold these offenders accountable and bring justice to those who were harmed in our community. We remain steadfast in our commitment to a safer Baltimore and justice for all.”
“These were violent attacks on unsuspecting victims. Their crimes terrorized our communities, endangering lives and creating fear,” said FBI Baltimore Special Agent in Charge Jimmy Paul. “The FBI thanks the dedicated men and women of the Baltimore Police Department, Baltimore County Police Department and Maryland’s Office of the Attorney General for their combined efforts which led to the defendants’ arrests and successful prosecutions for these heinous crimes. Our collaborative teamwork sends a clear message that law enforcement will relentlessly pursue violent offenders, restoring safety and security to our communities.”
The investigation was led by the Organized Crime Unit of the Attorney General’s Criminal Division and included partners from the FBI – Baltimore Violent Crimes Task Force, the Baltimore Police Department, and the Baltimore County Police Department.
In making today’s announcement, Attorney General Brown thanked Criminal Division Chief Katie Dorian, Organized Crime Unit Chief Paul Halliday, and Assistant Attorneys General Nancy Frigo and D.
