As tay-k’s fans eagerly await news about his release date from jail, many questions surround the details of his criminal activities. This article aims to explore the pressing inquiries: when will tay-k be released from jail?
Who Is Tay-k?
Tay k was born in long beach, California, on June 16, 2000. His real name is Taymor Travon McIntyre. Kevin Beverly, tay k’s dad, spent much time in jail when tay k was growing up. But when tay k was eight, his mother moved him and his sister to las vegas, Nevada. When Beverly exited jail, her whole family moved to Arlington, Texas, to start over.
Tay K went to high school until the ninth grade, when he dropped out and started focusing on his music business. Tay k’s career began when he was 14 and joined the Arlington, Virginia-based rap group daytona boyz with rappers santana sage and Pimpyz. In December 2014, they released their first song, “Drift.” in august 2015, eight months later, tay k put out his first solo song, Biff manner, on SoundCloud, which he used to distribute his music.
He also put out sly cooper a month later, which got much attention from the arlington rap scene. Several of his other songs, like “Megaman,” which became popular in march 2016, became famous only after he was caught for murder and charged with the death penalty. The teen rapper, who was only 17, released the hit song “The race” while he was running from the cops after getting out of house arrest. The song was recorded while he was on the run in new jersey. It was put on youtube two hours after he was caught.
What Did Tay-k Do?
Tay K first got in trouble with the law on January 1, 2016, after a new year’s gig in Denton, texas. Eric “Santana Sage” Johnson, another Daytona Boyz member, was in the car with the teen when Johnson shot a young woman in the head. University of north texas student Sara mutschlechner was killed at the stop.
Even though Johnson said he wasn’t guilty, he was sentenced to 44 years in jail. Tay K was not charged in this case. But in July 2016, tay k was involved in a significant crime when he and six others were arrested on capital murder charges connected to the home invasion of a dealer in Mansfield, Texas, which led to his death.
Two women and tay k planned to get into the house by seducing 19-year-old Zachary Bloated. With guns, tay k and others said they wanted to steal money and drugs. But the robbery went wrong, and Beloate’s friend ethan walker was killed after a fight broke out. Police questioned tay k about the theft, and he admitted that he was involved.
The teen was put under house arrest in January 2017 while he waited for court dates. But just a few days before the hearings, on March 27, 2017, tay k and another suspect cut off their ankle trackers and ran to san antonio, texas. While on the run, the suspects are said to have killed mark anthony Saldivar, 23, during a robbery outside a chick-fil-a in the same city.
In another case, tay k was picked out of a line-up after 65-year-old Owney “Skip” Pepe was robbed and knocked out in Arlington, texas. The rapper then went to Elizabeth, new jersey, where he made his hit song “The Race,” in which he talked about his life on the run. Tay K was caught on June 30, 2017, and taken to an adult jail on July 20, 2017.
When Will Tay-k Be Released From Jail?
On october 3, 2017, capital murder charges were added to tay k’s case. These charges were related to the event in san antonio, for which the rapper and his legal team wanted him to be treated as a juvenile. In february 2018, a woman who helped tay k was given a 20-year prison term for capital murder and aggravated robbery. Another suspect admitted guilt and made a deal with the government to speak against her fellow suspects, including tay k.
For killing walker, a third suspect got a term of life in prison without the chance to get out. Two other suspects got 25 and 40 years in prison for the same crimes, respectively. On may 24, 2018, it was announced that mcintyre would not be put to death or locked up for life without the chance to escape. On the first day of his trial, july 15, 2017, tay k pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated robbery in the home invasion case. However, on july 19, a jury found him guilty of murder and a third count of aggravated theft.
The song “The race” was used as proof during the rapper’s trial. Tay k, who was only 19 years old, was given 55 years in jail for murder, 30 years for one count of aggravated robbery, and two 13-year sentences for the other two counts of aggravated theft. Since both prison terms will be spent simultaneously, tay k will only be eligible for parole after 27.5 years – january 23, 2047.
On his Twitter account, Tay-K said he would not have gotten a 55-year sentence if he had been a “little white kid.” He wrote on Twitter:
“I bet if I was a lil white kid they wouldn’t have gave me no 55 years for a crime I was alleged to play the most insignificant role in when I was 16…. They woulda rightfully argued that my mind wasn’t fully developed and gave me rehabilitation and a 2nd (1st) chance at adulthood.”

In another tweet, he said that one of his co-defendants, a 16-year-old white girl, got 10 years of probation, while he and his co-defendant and friend Pimpyz supposedly got 30 years in prison.
