A 22-year-old man who became involved in a social media dispute among a group of women was found guilty of various firearm offenses on July 15, but acquitted on most other counts.

Alonzo Lindsey was found guilty of two counts of carrying a handgun on his person, two counts of having a handgun in a vehicle, firearm possession with a felony conviction and illegal possession of ammunition in relation to a March 21, 2023, shooting at Fort Armistead Park.

Lindsey was facing 58 charges and found not guilty of 40, including five counts of attempted first-degree murder, five counts of attempted second-degree murder, five counts of first-degree assault, four counts of second-degree assault, five counts of reckless endangerment, five counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, five counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree assault, five counts of conspiracy to commit second-degree assault and firing a gun in Baltimore City.

No verdict was reached for one count of second-degree assault, five counts of firearm use in a felony or violent crime and five counts of conspiracy to use a firearm in a felony or violent crime. The charge of illegal possession of a regulated firearm was dismissed.

Lindsey was represented by Koryn High.

According to previous reports, a group of women were arguing in a social media groupchat and planned to meet for a physical fight. One of the women, Ayeshia Holland, reportedly brought Lindsey to the fight after hearing that another woman was bringing a man. Lindsey allegedly sat in the back of her car and shot five times into the group.

Lindsey pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree assault of two women in Dec. 2023.

Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 20 before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Troy K. Hill.
