Annapolis Man Sentenced to Life Term in Connection with Lexington Park Assault

An Annapolis man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for his involvement in a 2024 shooting in Lexington Park that left a victim gravely injured, as stated by St. Mary’s County State’s Attorney Jaymi Sterling in an announcement.

Mark Albert Fenwick Jr., 33, received a life sentence with 40 years of active incarceration for his role in the attack, which resulted in multiple gunshot wounds to the victim. His sentencing follows a multi-day jury trial that concluded in May 2024, during which a St. Mary’s County jury found him guilty of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, armed robbery, and theft. 

Although Fenwick was not the individual who pulled the trigger, prosecutors stated that he played a direct role in orchestrating and carrying out the violent assault. “Although this Defendant was not the shooter, he contributed to a brutal and senseless attack that left a victim gravely injured,” Sterling said in a statement. “This sentence ensures accountability and reflects our commitment to justice by prosecuting all violent offenders who participate in endangering our community.”
