MIAMI – A South Florida federal jury has convicted Fort Pierce resident Xavier Daughtry, 25, of carjacking and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. Just before midnight on May 9, 2022, the victim parked her vehicle at a gas station on U.S. Hwy 1 in Fort Pierce.  After going inside the store, the victim returned to find Daughtry attempting to enter her vehicle.  The victim confronted Daughtry, who then raised a loaded .45 caliber pistol and pointed it at the victim's face, telling her to back up.
