Taxstone gets more prison time in Troy Ave shooting case
Taxstone is facing new legal troubles regarding the shooting of the 2016 Troy Ave occurrence. He was convicted for fatally shooting the rapper Troy Ave’s bodyguard, Ronald “Banga” McPhatter. Last year in New York, he was sentenced for 35 years in prison for state charges including first-degree manslaughter, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. Indeed, the incident had taken place at NYC’s Irving Plaza, resulting in various injuries.
Now, the media personality, whose real name is Daryl Campbell, is facing a new sentence — this time federal. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, a judge sentenced Taxstone to 115 months in prison (about ten years) on federal gun charges, including being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and receiving a gun through interstate commerce. Judge Lorna Schofield also ruled that this federal sentence will be served concurrently with his state sentence.
“Daryl Campbell used a firearm to target his rival, which led to loss of a life and serious injuries to innocent bystanders,” Manhattan’s District Attorney Alvin Bragg said. “Gun violence cannot… address conflict. The toll of guns continues to be staggeringly high and it is horrific that a night out at a concert ended tragically.”
