“Corique Moseley and his co-defendants robbed, assaulted, and terrorized dozens of Marylanders, leaving lasting scars the survivors will carry for the rest of their lives,” Attorney General Brown said in a press release. “This sentence delivers justice to the victims whose lives were upended by this senseless violence and underscores that our Office will not tolerate the kind of brutality that shatters lives and erodes the safety every Marylander deserves.”
Moseley is one of the six defendants responsible for over 40 violent incidents, including armed carjackings, kidnappings, and armed robberies throughout Baltimore City and County in late 2022.

Some victims were held captive for hours as the defendants drained their bank accounts using ATMs and mobile payment apps.
