As we’ve previously reported, police said Flint was responsible for a 2022 shooting at Melody Hookah Lounge that left 18-year-old Isiah O. Robinson, a student at Patrick Henry High School dead and four others hospitalized.

In September 2023, a Montgomery County jury found Flint guilty of first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated malicious wounding, and three counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
