Tiaquana Chandler, 42, was found guilty following a four-day trial in Superior Court for her role in escalating a disagreement in March that led to the assault of a man who required emergency surgery after her son shot him in the thigh.
Prosecutors say that on March 28, a man got into an argument with Chandler inside an apartment on 13th Place SE that prompted her to storm out, but she then returned a short time later with her son, Donnell Tucker, who was armed with a gun.
Together, they assaulted the man, leaving him with lacerations that required 14 staples and stitches to close. During the attack, officials say that Tucker also pistol-whipped him and shot him in the leg, causing a fracture that required surgery.
The nature of the disagreement was not released by federal officials.
Chandler was convicted of conspiracy to commit assault with a dangerous weapon, aggravated assault while armed, and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence
She was released pending her sentencing in January.
