In addition to the murder count, Tay-K was convicted on three counts of aggravated robbery.

The sentences will run concurrently.

A capital-murder conviction would have carried with it a mandatory minimum sentence of 40 years.

He was arrested by U.S.

Marshals in New Jersey the same day the video premiered.

Tay-Ks career as a rapper is far from incidental to the case.

But in recent years, prosecutors have increasingly turned to rap records as evidence.

Unlike in the Mansfield incident, prosecutors argue that Tay-K was the shooter in this instance.

That case is still ongoing.

He also faces prosecution in an unrelated Arlington robbery.

Is anyone still mourning XXXTentacion, she asks in the video that circulated.

Hes a rapper who was murdered; hes dead now.

Which is very tragic, but I also think it would be a very good Venmo commercial.

Thats the first thing I thought when I heard that.

Like,I dont have Venmo.

I should get Venmo.

The bit was posted by a Comedy Central social-media account.

At press time, Hashems Twitter account remained protected.

YG was not present during the raid of his home, and he has not been detained or arrested.
