After a two weeks of testimony and arguments, Texas rapper Tay-K has been found guilty of a lesser charge relating to the 2017 murder of Mark Saldivar.
Tay-K, real name Taymor McIntyre, robbed and shot Saldivar on the grounds of a Chick-fil-A in San Antonio on April 23, 2017. Testimonies included one from McIntyre's ex-girlfriend, Joanna Reyes, who drove the SUV that the rapper and his accomplices escaped in; she recalled that -K expressed glee after the murder.
While McIntyre was found not guilty of capital murder, the jury convicted him on a lesser charge of murder. Multiple folks had to be removed from the courtroom after they expressed disapproval at the rapper beating the top charge of capital murder. Had -K been charged with a capital killing, he would have been sentenced to life without parole.
Tay-K's first murder charge arrived in 2019, when he was convicted for killing Ethan Walker in 2016. He's currently serving a 55-year sentence for the crime. The Saldivar killing went down when the rapper was out on the lam, riding the high of releasing his hit single "The Race".
