T.I. Concert Shooting: Brooklyn Podcast Host 'Taxstone' Arrested, Linked To Gun (UPDATES)

GRAMERCY, NY — A well-known hip hop personality known by the name of Taxstone was arrested Monday on a federal weapons possession charge in connection with a fatal shooting at a T.I. concert in Irving Plaza last year, police said. The high-profile shooting killed rapper Troy Ave's bodyguard, Ronald McPhatter.

Taxstone, who's real name is Daryl Campbell, was arrested at his Alabama Avenue home in East New York Monday morning, police told Patch. Multiple news outlets report that cops allegedly found Campbell's D.N.A. on the murder weapon used to kill McPhatter.

Campbell, pictured above, is known for his provocative hip-hop commentary on the podcast Tax Season on the Loud Speakers Network. He reportedly feuded with rapper Troy Ave on Twitter for years.

The May 25, 2016 shooting occurred in the third-floor Green Room, a VIP area of the Irving Plaza concert venue on Irving Place in Gramery. The shooting killed McPhatter and wounded Troy Ave and two bystanders, police said.

Troy Ave, who's real name is Roland Collins, was arrested and charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon the day after the shooting, police told patch. Police released a surveillance video (see below) that officials believe shows Troy Ave opening fire inside the venue.

Troy Ave was shot in the leg and says he wrestled the gun away from the man who killed McPhatter. Troy Ave says he then shot the man in self-defense, the Daily News reports. Troy Ave has been free on $500,000 bail following the incident, and his lawyers have continued to argue that the rapper was targeted and retaliated to save his own life.

Now, investigators believe they found D.N.A. belonging to Campbell on the trigger, hand grip and magazine of the 9-millimeter Kel-Tec semiautomatic handgun that was used in the shooting, the Times reports.

It's believed that Campbell was in possession of the murder weapon before the shooting. Videos show Campbell entering the green room before the gunfire and then fleeing, according to The Times. In front of Campbell was bodyguard McPhatter and behind Campbell was a person who's not named in the complaint, but is presumably Troy Ave.

The Times reports Campbell made public threats before the shooting, saying he would open fire on Troy Ave. Campbell apparently said, “When I see you walking up with six dudes, bang-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba,” and repeatedly called out “Try me.”

It was announced by DNAinfo Tuesday afternoon that a judge set bail for Taxstone at $500,000 with extensive restrictions.
