Catonsville Man Facing Federal Charges for Carjacking and Firearms Violations

Baltimore, Maryland - A federal grand jury returned an indictment, charging a Baltimore County man in connection with a violent carjacking.

Kylin Stubblefield, 41, of Catonsville, Maryland, is charged with carjacking, using, carrying, and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, and possessing a firearm and ammunition as a prohibited person.

Kelly O. Hayes, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, announced the indictment with Special Agent in Charge Jimmy Paul, FBI Baltimore Field Office, and Commissioner Richard Worley, Baltimore Police Department (BPD).

According to the three-count indictment, in October 2025, Stubblefield committed a carjacking in Baltimore City. During the crime, Stubblefield used, carried, brandished, and discharged a firearm, seriously injuring the vehicle's owner. Stubblefield is also charged with unlawfully possessing a firearm due to a prior felony conviction.

An indictment is not a finding of guilt. Individuals charged by indictment are presumed innocent until proven guilty at a later criminal proceeding.

If convicted, Stubblefield faces a minimum sentence of seven years for brandishing a firearm during the carjacking, and a maximum life sentence in federal prison. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge determines sentencing after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.

U.S. Attorney Hayes commended the FBI and BPD for their work in the investigation. Ms. Hayes also thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kim Y. Hagan and John Mark Mastakas who are prosecuting the federal case.
