Quavon Grimes, 36, was convicted Friday, Oct. 16 following a four-day trial, the Albany County District Attorney’s office said Monday, Oct. 19.
Grimes and his ex-girlfriend got into an argument outside an apartment on Westerlo Street in Albany on Aug. 30, 2025, around 11 p.m., investigators said.
The victim and her daughter tried to walk away from the argument, but Grimes chased them down, pulled the gun, and hit the woman in the face with it multiple times, authorities said.
Grimes then pointed the gun at the woman’s 11-year-old daughter, prosecutors said. A friend of the victim arrived on the scene, but then Grimes attacked him with the gun, striking him in the face and knocking out several teeth, according to investigators.
The woman and her friend were both treated at a nearby hospital, while Grimes was arrested and charged with numerous crimes, the DA’s office said.
Nine witnesses, including the two victims and hospital staff, testified at Grimes’ trial, leading to his conviction, authorities said. He was found guilty of two counts of second-degree assault, three counts of third-degree weapons possession, and endangering the welfare of a child, prosecutors said.
Grimes’ sentencing hearing was set for Dec. 14, and he faces a maximum of 14 years in state prison, officials said.
