Darius Thomas, one of the men responsible for the death of Grand Hustle artist Doe B, was sentenced to 85 years in prison on Wednesday (January 10), according to the Montgomery Advertiser. In December, the 29-year-old pleaded guilty to the murders of Doe B, Kimberle Johnson and Timnarius Hamilton.
Thomas was one of three men arrested in connection with the December 2013 shooting at Centennial Hill Bar and Grill in Montgomery, Alabama that killed Doe B. Jason McWilliams and Taboris Mock, who were also apprehended for their roles in the shooting, haven’t gone to trial yet and are out on bond.
At his trial, Thomas apologized to the mothers of his victims. All three accepted the apology but requested that the judge give Thomas the maximum prison sentence.
“It was a big weight off of my shoulders and me being able to forgive him,” Doe B’s mother said.
Montgomery County District Attorney Daryl Bailey said if Thomas hadn’t taken the plea deal, he was likely going to be sentenced to life without parole. Even with the plea, Bailey doesn’t anticipate Doe B’s killer will ever be paroled.
“I don’t expect him to ever get out,” he said. “Not with three murders. I expect he’ll die in prison.”
Doe B was signed by T.I. in 2012 after becoming a regional star. T.I. thought highly of the late rapper, comparing him favorably to Biggie Smalls.
“Lil’ bruh was definitely on the verge of being one of the coldest — he was the coldest in his class,” T.I. told Everyday Struggle host Nadeska Alexis when she was working at MTV in 2014. “There will never be another Doe B. He was the Southern Biggie. I think that’s the closet the South has gotten to the Notorious B.I.G.”
Doe B’s posthumous project Definition Of A Trapper 3 peaked at #78 on the Billboard 200 in 2014.
Who?
your mom
Some talentless dead never-was. Not even a has-been, just a never-was. T.I.’s iIIuminati blood sacrifice.
That’s a bit harsh for someone you never met. smh, that was someone’s son, brother, nephew, uncle, grandson.
Just exercising my freedome of speech yo
8ball MJG > Biggie imo better catalog for as im concerned
Biggie only put out one album while he was alive. 8Ball & MJG put out like 10 and they’re still living. Not really a fair comparison. Try comparing them to like Outkast or UGK.
Big put out TWO albums and the last album was a DOUBLE ALBUM….
Only one while alive you fuckin meat head.
How can you claim to forgive someone and then request to take their life away? That shit makes no sense. Either forgive him or don’t, but drop that hypocritical bullshit.
Because forgiveness does not absolve someone from consequences from someone’s actions. Forgiveness has more to do with being released from holding on to grudges or negative emotions for a person than it does with not asking a person being punished
Sad situation that led up to Doe B death man just got his foot in the game RIP ! They fried his killer tho!
