An 18-year-old whose role in a brazen rideshare carjacking spree rattled Baltimore will spend decades in prison after a judge handed down a multi-layered sentence that keeps him behind bars well into adulthood.

On Monday, Corique Moseley was sentenced to 75 years in prison for a series of violent rideshare carjackings across the city in late 2022. The judge suspended 35 years of that time, leaving 40 years to serve, and ordered that Moseley spend the first 30 years without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors said he must also register as a sex offender for life and will be placed on five years of supervised probation once he is released.

According to Fox Baltimore, the court treated the punishment as roughly five years per victim, stacking the counts after a jury convicted Moseley in December. Victims told the court they were forced out of their vehicles at gunpoint, held for hours, and robbed while the defendants allegedly used stolen rideshare accounts to lure and target new passengers.

As earlier reporting by CBS Baltimore detailed, prosecutors linked the case to more than 40 violent incidents in Baltimore City and Baltimore County. Moseley was the last of six defendants to be convicted after a multi-day trial that prosecutors say wrapped up a sprawling, multi-jurisdictional investigation.

How the ring operated

In a press release, the Maryland Attorney General’s Office laid out a chilling pattern: the group used Uber and Lyft apps to summon drivers, then carjacked them at gunpoint. Victims were often forced into trunks or back seats, driven to ATMs, and made to withdraw cash. One victim was sexually assaulted during an abduction, and witnesses later identified Moseley in a photo array. “The survivors of these violent crimes will carry the trauma of what they endured for years to come,” Attorney General Anthony Brown said in the statement, according to the Maryland Attorney General’s Office.

Other sentences and co-defendants

Several co-defendants opted to plead guilty and received long terms of their own. Raquan Pierce and Shamar Anderson had their cases disposed of in September 2025 with multi-decade sentences, portions of which were suspended. Tre’Quon Maye received a lengthy sentence with much of it suspended, and Ammar Shields was sentenced earlier this year to a term that was largely suspended. Those outcomes and the specific sentencing details were outlined by Fox Baltimore. Prosecutors have said those plea deals and related testimony were key to dismantling the crew and securing accountability for the string of victims.

What comes next

The Attorney General’s Organized Crime Unit said the investigation, carried out with the FBI along with Baltimore City and Baltimore County police, brought the case to a close and credited victims and witnesses for coming forward, according to the Maryland Attorney General’s Office. One remaining co-defendant, Jamarie Ward, has yet to be sentenced; court listings reported by NottinghamMD show Ward is scheduled to appear for sentencing on July 15.
