Lucas Smith, a 32-year-old resident of Baltimore, Maryland, was indicted in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland in August 2017, on multiple charges related to violent crime.
The indictment, filed on August 29, 2017, charged Smith with one count of conspiracy to commit violent crime, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, and one count of violent crime in aid of racketeering, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1959(a)(3).
According to court documents, Smith was allegedly involved in a violent crime spree that spanned several months, during which time he and his co-conspirators engaged in a series of brutal attacks on rival gang members and innocent bystanders.
The case was brought to light after a lengthy investigation by the FBI’s Baltimore Field Office, which uncovered a web of evidence linking Smith and his co-conspirators to the violent crimes.
Smith’s trial began on January 15, 2018, and lasted for several weeks, with prosecutors presenting a wealth of evidence, including eyewitness testimony, security footage, and forensic analysis.
On February 20, 2018, the jury delivered a guilty verdict on both counts, finding Smith responsible for his role in the violent crime spree.
Smith was sentenced to 25 years in prison, with the possibility of parole after serving 15 years.
