Tay-K, whose real name is Taymor Travon McIntyre, is currently serving a 55-year prison sentence for the 2016 murder of Ethan Walker, which occurred during a botched home invasion. In 2025, he was found guilty of a second murder-the 2017 killing of photographer Mark Anthony Saldivar while Tay-K was on the run from authorities. For this second conviction, he was sentenced to 80 years in prison

. The 80-year sentence is in addition to the 55 years he is already serving, and it remains to be decided by the judge whether these sentences will run concurrently or consecutively, which will affect the total time he spends in prison

. Tay-K was acquitted of capital murder in the second case, which would have meant a life sentence without parole, but his conviction still carries a potential sentence ranging from 5 to 99 years

. In summary, Tay-K is currently serving a 55-year sentence and has been sentenced to an additional 80 years for a second murder conviction, potentially amounting to a total of 135 years or more in prison depending on how the sentences are served
