Daryl Campbell pka Taxstone is facing up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to two federal weapons counts on Thursday, June 15, in a Manhattan courtroom.
The New York Daily News reports that the "Tax Season" podcast host copped to possessing a firearm as a felon and receiving a firearm in interstate commerce.
The charges stem from a May 25, 2016, shooting in the green room at Irving Plaza in New York City during a T.I. concert. Tax was allegedly involved in a fight with rival Troy Ave. During the scuffle shots were fired that killed Troy's friend Ronald "BSB Banga" McPhatter. Three other people, including Troy were injured.
DNA allegedly belonging to Tax, Troy and McPhatter was found on the 9-millimeter Kel-Tec semiautomatic handgun used in the shooting.
Investigators determined the weapon belonged to Taxstone because his DNA was on the trigger, hand grip and magazine of the weapon
Taxstone has not been charged with murder, but Manhattan U.S. Attorneys told Judge Lorna Schofield that he brought a firearm to Irving Plaza and "fired one shot that killed Ronald McPhatter" as well as additional shots during the confrontation.
