Tay-K, whose given name is Taymore McIntyre, was part of a home invasion robbery in Mansfield that resulted in the death of a 21-year-old man and left another man injured in July 2016. Tay-K, 19, pleaded guilty at the start of the trial to two counts of aggravated robbery for other people who were also in the home.
Tay-K faces five to 99 years in prison for each charge he has been convicted of at trial.
Tay-K’s lawyers unsuccessfully argued that Tay-K didn’t know Ethan Walker would be killed by an accomplice, Latharian Merritt. Prosecutors said Tay-K knew what he was getting into and witnesses testified he had asked Merritt to be involved in the crime.
Tay-K still faces another aggravated robbery charge in Tarrant County and a capital murder charge in Bexar County. Both happened after Tay-K cut off his ankle monitor given to him after being arrested for the Mansfield murder.
Tay-K is accused of robbing and killing a man at a San Antonio Chick-fil-A in April 2017 and robbing a 65-year-old man in Arlington in May 2017. Those two crimes triggered a nationwide manhunt, which resulted in Tay-K’s capture in June 2017.
