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.

Chris Brown has been ordered to stay away from his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran for the next five years.
Tran testified in court on Thursday, June 15, that she feared for her safety because Brown had allegedly beaten and threatened her in the past.
According to Tran, Brown became aggressive after she broke up with him, demanding she give back diamond rings and other expensive gifts he had bought for her.
She testified that when she refused, the singer started to send ominous text messages.
"I can get my money back and I'm tired of playing games" he allegedly wrote. "Bitch I will beat the shit out of you. I promise you I will make your life hell."
Tran also accused Brown of writing, "Imma kill blood" under a photo of her with actor Michael B. Jordan.
Brown was not in court and the judge refused to let him testify by phone. But TMZ reports that his attorney, Mark Geragos, grilled Tran on cross examination, asking why she never called the police.
According Geragos, Tran allegedly taunted Brown by telling him she had sold the rings.
Tran told Geragos that she never planned to return the rings because they were hers.
The judge in the case sided with Tran, granting her a five year restraining order against Brown.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. said Wednesday he will come out of retirement to face UFC star Conor McGregor in a boxing match on Aug. 26.
Mayweather, who retired in September 2015 after winning all 49 of his pro fights, will face a mixed martial arts fighter who has never been in a scheduled 12-round fight at the MGM Grand arena. The fight that will take place in a boxing ring and be governed by boxing rules.
“It’s official,” Mayweather said on his Instagram account next to a video poster of both fighters.
“THE FIGHT IS ON,” McGregor tweeted several minutes earlier, posting a picture of himself next to one of Mayweather’s father, Floyd Sr.

Mayweather will fight at the relatively advanced age of 41 in a bout that McGregor has been pushing for months. It finally came together over the last few days, and Nevada boxing officials on Wednesday approved the date for a Mayweather Promotions bout.
Though Las Vegas oddsmakers have made Mayweather a heavy 10-1 favorite, the thought of the fight has excited many in the MMA world. It has also intrigued some in boxing, though most dismiss McGregor’s chances under boxing rules against one of the greatest defensive fighters in history.
Even if the actual bout may not shape up as a great matchup, the run-up to the fight will. Both fighters are noted for their ability to sell their fights, and both have exchanged in trash talking and more to promote their bouts.
The fight will be televised on pay-per-view on Showtime and would likely gross tens of millions of dollars. It comes less than a month before Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez meet in a highly anticipated fight that could rival it for pay-per-view buys.

LONDON (AP) — A deadly overnight fire raced through a 24-story apartment tower in London on Wednesday, killing at least six people and injuring 74 others, police said. Witnesses reported seeing residents throw babies and small children from high windows to people on the sidewalk in a desperate effort to save them from the flames.
The inferno lit up the night sky and spewed black smoke from the windows of the Grenfell Tower in North Kensington, where more than 200 firefighters battled the blaze. A plume of smoke stretched for miles (kilometers) across the sky after dawn, revealing the blackened, flame-licked wreckage of the building, which was still burning over 12 hours later.
People trapped by the quickly advancing flames and thick smoke banged on windows and screamed for help to those watching down below, witnesses and survivors said. One resident said the fire alarm did not go off.
“The flames, I have never seen anything like it, it just reminded me of 9/11,” said Muna Ali, 45. “The fire started on the upper floors ... oh my goodness, it spread so quickly. It had completely spread within half an hour.”
“This is an unprecedented incident,” Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton told reporters. “In my 29 years of being a firefighter I have never, ever seen anything of this scale.”
She said she feared more victims would be found still inside the building.
There was no immediate word on the cause of the blaze, but angry residents said they had warned local authorities about fire issues at Grenfell Tower. The subsidized housing block of 120 apartments was built in 1974 and was recently upgraded at a cost of 8.6 million pounds ($11 million), with work finishing in May 2016, according to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
Samira Lamrani, a witness, said one woman dropped a baby from a window on the ninth or 10th floor to people on the sidewalk.

“People were starting to appear at the windows, frantically banging and screaming” and one woman indicated she was going to drop the baby, Lamrani told Britain’s Press Association news agency. “A gentleman ran forward and managed to grab the baby.”
Joe Walsh, 58, said he saw someone throw two children out of a window from the fifth or sixth floor. Tiago Etienne, 17, said he spotted about three children between the ages of four and eight being dropped from an apartment around the 15th floor.
Police commander Stuart Cundy gave the death toll of six but added the figure was likely to rise “during what will be a complex recovery operation over a number of days.”
Paul Woodrow, head of operations for the London Ambulance Service, said 20 of the injured were in critical condition.
The London Fire Brigade received the first reports of the fire at 12:54 a.m. and the first engines arrived within six minutes, Cotton said.
Witnesses described a white, polystyrene-type material falling like snow from the building as it burned. Some feared the charred tower block might collapse, but a structural engineer said the building was not in danger, according to the London Fire Brigade, which added “it is safe for our crews to be in there.”
Ruks Mamudu, 69, escaped from her first floor apartment wearing only her purple pajamas and bathrobe. She and her grandson sat outside the building and watched people trapped on higher floors cry desperately for help.
“I sat there watching my house burn down and watching people cry for help who couldn’t come down,” she said.
People at the scene spoke of being unable to reach friends and family inside. Others saw people inside using flashlights and mobile phones to try to signal for help from higher floors.
Nassima Boutrig, who lives opposite the building, said she was awakened by sirens and smoke so thick that it filled her home as well.
“We saw the people screaming,” she said. “A lot of people said ‘Help! Help! Help!’ The fire brigade could only help downstairs. It was fire up, up, up. They couldn’t stop the fire.”
The disaster occurred 10 days after a terror attack at London’s Borough Market. Some residents initially feared the fire was also terror-related, though authorities discounted that possibility.
Edward Daffarn, a 55-year-old who lived on the building’s 16th floor, said the fire alarm didn’t ring. Daffarn said residents had complained for years to London City Council about building safety, to no avail.
“I’m lucky to be alive. A neighbor’s smoke alarm went off and another neighbor phoned and told me to get out,” he said. “I consider this mass murder.”
The Grenfell Action Group, a community organization formed to oppose a nearby redevelopment project, has been warning about the risk of fire at Grenfell Tower since 2013. The group has raised concerns about testing and maintenance of firefighting equipment and blocked emergency access to the site.
“All our warnings fell on deaf ears and we predicted that a catastrophe like this was inevitable and just a matter of time,” the group said after the fire broke out.
A July 2014 newsletter for residents said the tower building was designed “according to rigorous fire safety standards” and recommended that in case of a fire residents should stay inside their apartments.

The British company that carried out the tower’s 2016 refurbishment, Rydon, said in a statement that its work “met all required building control, fire regulation and health and safety standards.”
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said many questions now need to be answered about the scores of tower blocks around the city.
“There will be a great many questions over the coming days as to the cause of this tragedy, and I want to reassure Londoners that we will get all the answers,” Khan said.
