Overview

• Tay-K, whose real name is Taymor McIntyre, was convicted of murder for the 2017 killing of photographer Mark Anthony Saldivar in San Antonio.
• The jury found him guilty of murder rather than capital murder, meaning he faces a possible life sentence with the chance of parole.
• Prosecutors argued that Tay-K fatally shot Saldivar during a robbery attempt after inviting him to take photos for a music project.
• Defense attorneys criticized the investigation, claiming it relied on incentivized witness testimony and lacked physical evidence linking Tay-K to the crime.
• This marks Tay-K's second murder conviction; he is already serving a 55-year sentence for a 2016 home invasion that left Ethan Walker dead.
