OPINION

SHARON McCALLY, Justice.

Appellant Billy Joe Wyatt was convicted of three counts of aggravated robbery. The trial court sentenced appellant to twenty-two years’ confinement for each count and ordered the sentences to run concurrently. Appellant urges on appeal that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction based on a theory of party liability, in part, because the record contains no evidence showing that appellant knew or should have known a firearm would be used. We reverse appellant’s conviction on all three counts and render a judgment of acquittal.
