Final Defendant Convicted in 2022 Rideshare Carjacking Spree

A Baltimore jury convicted 17 year old Corique Moseley on December 11, 2025, concluding the criminal proceedings against the last of six people accused in a coordinated 2022 campaign of violence that targeted Uber and Lyft drivers. Prosecutors say the group used rideshare apps to lure drivers, then forced victims at gunpoint to surrender vehicles, withdraw money, or endure physical and sexual assaults. Authorities have attributed roughly 40 incidents to the group, including armed carjackings, kidnappings, armed robberies, and a sexual assault.

Moseley was found guilty on multiple counts that include a third degree sexual offense among other felonies, and faces a lengthy prison term when he is sentenced in early 2026. The conviction follows prior trials and pleas that resulted in convictions and sentences for the five other defendants charged in the series of crimes, bringing a measure of closure to a case that stretched across Baltimore City and surrounding counties.

Prosecutors emphasized that the crimes exploited popular technology to create opportunities for violence, and law enforcement agencies pointed to the difficulties of investigating offenses that crossed municipal lines. Maryland Attorney General and Baltimore Police officials released statements underscoring accountability and the coordinated effort to identify and prosecute all involved. The case demonstrates the practical challenges Baltimore faces when criminal networks use digital platforms to organize and conceal violent activity.

For local residents, the case reinforces persistent public safety concerns for drivers and passengers who rely on rideshare services. Rideshare drivers in Baltimore should be aware that investigators continue to monitor safety risks and that law enforcement has sought stronger coordination with regional partners and with transportation companies. Community advocates and law enforcement leaders say improving reporting, sharing information across jurisdictions, and enhancing platform safeguards are key steps to reducing similar threats in the future.

Beyond immediate legal consequences, the convictions carry broader implications for how municipalities, prosecutors, and private platforms cooperate to prevent technology enabled crime. As sentencing approaches, Baltimore residents can expect continued attention from officials focused on preventing a recurrence of the kind of violence and exploitation exposed by this case.
