    In addition to Tay, the suit also names 88 Classic Records, Joshua White, the company’s owner and Tay’s independent manager, Ezra Averill.

    Tay is currently behind bars at Tarrant County Jail, where he’s awaiting trial on capital murder charges. He’s accused of fatally shooting 21-year-old Ethan Walker and injuring his roommate, Zachary Beloate, during a 2016 home invasion.

    Six other co-defendants have been convicted or pleaded guilty in the case.

    Just 16 years old at the time of the incident, Tay was on home confinement when he cut off his ankle monitor in March 2017 and fled. He just days away from a certification hearing.

    While on the lam in San Antonio, authorities say he fatally shot 23-year-old photographer Mark Anthony Saldivar during a robbery in April 2017. A month later, he allegedly attacked Pepe.

    The suit states Pepe was walking in Cravens Park near his Arlington home when Tay crept up on him, held a gun to his head and demanded his wallet.

    “McIntyre then savagely beat the defenseless 65-year-old, leaving him unconscious with multiple broken bones and [a] brain bleed,” the lawsuit alleges. “McIntyre dragged Mr. Pepe’s body off the trail and left him for dead in the woods.”

    Tay was later arrested in New Jersey and certified to stand trial as an adult in the Walker capital murder case and aggravated robbery charge in connection with Pepe’s attack. He’s also charged with possession of a prohibited item inside a correctional facility after allegedly sneaking a cellphone inside his underwear.

    He’s charged in Bexar County with capital murder in connection with Saldivar’s robbery and shooting.

    The Pepes’ lawsuit accuses him of writing and recording music that capitalized on his notoriety.

      1. Been following this case of young black boy lost in the system. Radio was eatin off him. Thanks for the update HHDX

    1. I was going to leave a comment feeling sorry for the dude, but then I saw the comment under mine. Thanks for reminding me that you pink mutants aren’t human and don’t deserve my sympathy. lol

      1. Pink Mutants? That’s the most hateful thing I’ve ever seen on these comment sections, now usually I ignore all the ugly hateful things you people say about white people on these comment sections but you’ve gone too far. You the type of person that makes us feel nostalgic about the days when we had you people doing an honest days work and you weren’t running around acting like fools all the time.

        1. Did you just refer to slavery as “when we had you people doing an honest day work”? What’s wrong with you man? Are you just trying to be funny or do you not understand how hurtful what you’re saying is?

      2. Feeling sorry for the dude? What the fuck is there to feel sorry for when it involves this fuck? Please explain how there is any way to feel pity for him, Id love to hear the ignorance. Its funny how you people go to defend someone like this instead instead of disavowing their actions as a disgrace to your own race and culture. But oh yeah, youre always the victim.

      1. You’re disrespecting so callled dirty black boys but you’re commenting on a dirty black boy site…smh…

      2. Timothy your a piece of shit you white devil ducks think your perfect killing children at preschools your a fucking joke you piece of shit.

    2. look how fast everyone falls for race bait… some idiot named Timothy says one thing and we all hate each other. That’s so wack… dudes on the internet are just trying to get you fired up and then you carry that into the world when you see a REAL person of another race… it’s not cool – don’t let these fools get to you. It might sound corny but hip hop is what unites, they want to bring us down…

    3. Where’s a cop when you need one? That little shit should’ve been shot and buried long ago. Get them while they’re young is what I say.
