In a shocking turn of events, rapper Tay K, 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 Tamour McIntyre, faced devastating testimony in his ongoing murder trial that could seal his fate behind bars for life. On the fifth day of proceedings in Beexar County, a former girlfriend, Joanna Reyes, took the stand and accused him of pulling the trigger in the 2017 murder of photographer Mark Salavar during a robbery gone horribly wrong. Reyes, visibly emotional, recounted how a routine photo shoot spiraled into chaos, culminating in Salavar’s death outside a Chick-fil-A.
With evidence mounting against him, Tay K’s prospects for freedom are dwindling. Reyes’s detailed testimony, describing how Tay K allegedly brandished a gun and demanded Salavar’s belongings, paints a chilling picture of the events. She recalled the moment of violence: “We hit the light at Makulla, and Tamar took out his gun and pointed it at Mark.” When Salavar refused to comply, violence erupted, and Reyes claimed Tay K’s friend celebrated the murder, saying, “You caught your first body.”
This explosive revelation comes as Tay K, already serving a 55-year sentence for a previous murder, now faces the possibility of life without parole. The stakes couldn’t be higher, as Reyes’s plea deal—granting her 10 years probation for her testimony—raises questions about her motivations but does not diminish the weight of her account. The courtroom was left stunned as she described the aftermath of the shooting, detailing the chilling camaraderie among the accused.
As the trial unfolds, the walls are closing in on Tay K, whose life has been marked by violence and missed opportunities. Once a rising star in hip-hop, he now confronts a grim reality where freedom may be a distant memory. With the prosecution’s case growing stronger, Tay K’s future hangs in the balance, and the clock is ticking down on his chances for redemption.
