Rapper Tay-K Convicted of Murder for Shooting Photographer While Fleeing Separate Murder
In 2017, an arrest warrant was issued for Tay-K, born Taymor McIntyre, in Bexar County, Texas. The document alleged that McIntyre was part of a group who picked up Mark Anthony Saldivar, a 23-year-old photographer in San Antonio, for a photoshoot that was supposed to take place at a nearby mall. While in the car, Saldivar is said to have been robbed at gunpoint for his camera equipment and fatally shot following the altercation, per Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

McIntyre was found guilty of murder, but not guilty of capital murder, which would have carried a mandatory life sentence. When he was previously convicted of murder in the shooting death of 21-year-old Ethan Walker in Tarrant County, Texas, a judge also ruled that he would concurrently serve a 30-year prison sentence for the first of three counts of aggravated robbery and 13 years each for the remaining two counts from the same robbery.
He was 17 years old at the time, and went viral after releasing the video for his single 'The Race' — partially inspired by a real life event — in June 2017. After cutting off his ankle bracelet, he fled house arrest ahead of a court hearing for his part in the 2016 home invasion which occurred when he was 16. 'It wasn't part of the plan. The plan was robbery. Not killing,' Jeff Kearney, one of McIntyre's defense attorneys, told the jury in 2019.

Former 21-year-old soldier stationed in Texas pleads guilty to hacking, extortion scheme
TEXAS (WHNT) — A former U.S. Army soldier stationed at Fort Cavazos entered a guilty plea in federal court Tuesday. According to federal documents and the U.S. Department of Justice, 21-year-old Cameron John Wagenius used online accounts associated with the nickname 'kiberphant0m' to conspire with 3 other people to defraud at least 10 victim organizations. The DOJ said Wagenius did so by obtaining login credentials for the organization's protected computer networks between April 2023 and December 18, 2024. Huntsville International Airport sets monthly passenger traffic record for June The DOJ said the conspirators obtained the credentials using a hacking tool called SSH Brute, among other names. The DOJ said they used Telegram group chats to transfer the stolen credentials and talk about gaining access to victim companies' networks. The release says all of this happened while Wagenius was on active duty with the U.S. Army. 'After data was stolen, the conspirators extorted the victim organizations both privately and in public forums. The extortion attempts included threats to post the stolen data on cybercrime forums such as BreachForums and The conspirators offered to sell stolen data for thousands of dollars via posts on these forums. They successfully sold at least some of this stolen data and also used stolen data to perpetuate other frauds, including SIM-swapping. In total, Wagenius and his co-conspirators attempted to extort at least $1 million from victim data owners.' U.S. Department of Justice The plea agreement says Wagenius and the co-conspirators, after gaining access to the victim's accounts, threatened to leak the stolen data unless a ransom was paid. From there, the federal document says the conspirators worked to gain access to 'hundreds of thousands' of sensitive business and customer records. This information included non-content call and text history records, telecommunication identifying information and other personally identifiable information. Some examples of the messages sent to the victims are listed below, per federal documents. 'At least on or about April 23, 2023, until at least June 16, 2023, Defendant, Co-Conspirator-1 and others participated in a Telegram group chat. The chat members repeatedly discussed stealing computer credentials, including through brute force attacks used to guess username and password combinations, and transferred stolen credentials among themselves.' DOJ Plea Agreement Document '[I]n or about May 2024, Defendant and Co-Conspirator-1 accessed the computer systems of Victim-1, a telecommunications company located overseas, and stole information pertaining to hundreds of thousands of Victim-1's customers. This stolen information included International Mobile Subscriber Identity, SIM card numbers, maskerkey, and other information needed to successfully clone SIM cards.' DOJ Plea Agreement Document '[I[n or about August and September 2024, Defendant, Co-Conspirator-1, Co-Conspirator-2, and Co-Conspirator-3 accessed the protected computer systems of Victim-3, a tecnology company located in the United States and stole information pertaining to thousands of Victim-2's customers, including telephone numbers belonging to real people who were Victim-2's customers. Victim-2 was a telecommunications company located in the United States, and some of Vicitm-2's stolen data was hosted on Victim-3's computer systems located in Texas and North Carolina.' DOJ Plea Agreement Document 'Defendant and others publicly and privately extorted victims by threatening to sell or otherwise distribute their stolen data unless the victims paid ransoms. They did so through online posts on online cybercrim forums catering to criminals, such as BreachForums and Telegram channels dedicated to online frauds and other cybercrimes; direct messages on Telegram; and other online platforms such as X (formerly known as Twitter). Some of these posts and messages offered to sell the data in exchange for fiat currency and cryptocurrency, while others attempted to extort the victim companies, requesting payment in order to avoid publication of the stolen data. Some posts also published sample data stolen from the victims. The platforms on which these posts were made could be accessed from computers located anywhere in the world, including the Western District of Washington.' DOJ Plea Agreement Document '[O]n or about October 22, 2024, Defendant contacted Victim-2 and wrote, 'If I'm not contacted all 358+ [gigabytes] of data on the [Victim-2] network will be released.' Defendant sent this message, which was transmitted in interstate and foreign commerce, as part of Defendant's efforts to extort a ransom payment from Victim-2. DOJ Plea Agreement Document '[O]n or about November 6, 2024, Defendant sent multiple emails to Victim-4, a telecommunications company located in the United States, sharing sample stolen data and threatening to leak more online unless he was paid '500k USD in the form of cryptocurrency.' Defendant stated, '[i]n the event of [Co-Conspirator-2's] arrest I was to takeover negotiations.' DOJ Plea Agreement Document The department said on Tuesday, Wagenius pleaded guilty to the following charges: Conspiracy to commit wire fraud Extortion in relation to computer fraud Aggravated identity theft. Tri-agency traffic enforcement targets excessive speeding on I-565 He is currently scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 6 and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, a maximum penalty of five years in prison for extortion in relation to computer fraud, and a mandatory two-year sentence consecutive to any other prison time for aggravated identity theft. Wagenius was first indicted on December 18, 2024, in Seattle, Washington, federal court documents say. The plea agreement, obtained by News 19, says Wagenius waived his right to be charged by indictment as well as waived his right to have the incident tried before a jury. As a result of these waivers, he agreed to enter a guilty plea. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Harrison Ford Is Officially a First-Time Emmy Nominee
Harrison Ford received his first Emmy nomination today, with the 83-year-old actor earning a look for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy for his performance in Shrinking. Ford has earned rave reviews for his work in the AppleTV+ show, in which he plays Dr. Paul Rhoades, a veteran therapist who's also navigating the early stage of Parkinson's disease. In the Outstanding Supporting Actor category, he'll compete against his Shrinking castmate Michael Urie, as well as Ike Barinholtz for The Studio, Colman Domingo for The Four Seasons, Jeff Hiller for Somebody Somewhere, and last year's winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach for The Bear. More from Rolling Stone Emmy Nominations 2025: Snubs and Surprises Bella Ramsey Becomes First Non-Binary Person to Earn Two Emmy Nominations Emmy Nominations 2025: 'The White Lotus' and 'Severance' Lead Shrinking earned seven Emmy nominations total for its second Season, including Outstanding Comedy Series. Along with the acting nods for Ford and Urie, Jason Segel and Jessica Williams were also nominated for their performances. Prior to receiving his Emmy nomination for Shrinking, Ford earned recognition from the Golden Globes, with a Best Supporting Actor nod last year. He also received nominations at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Critics' Choice Television Awards. While this is Ford's first Emmy nomination, it's not like he's had many opportunities to earn them: One of the biggest movie stars of the last 50 years was, after all, a bit too busy making movies. Early in Ford's career, during the late Sixties and early Seventies, he starred in several made-for-TV movies and popped up in various shows, but never had a main cast role. Only recently has Ford started working more in television, with the actor starring in the Yellowstone prequel, 1923, along with his work on Shrinking.

Emmy Nominations 2025: Snubs and Surprises
When we talk about snubs and surprises with this year's Emmy nominations, we're at times stretching each term. Some of the 'snubs' mentioned below involve shows or performances that weren't necessarily the best, but fit the pattern of the kinds of things that usually get nominated, while others were great but were expected to be ignored. And some of the surprises are more about matters of degree, rather than their presence at all. Let's get to it. SURPRISE: dominatesIt was a great morning to be an Apple TV+ executive. Severance was the year's most-nominated show, with 27, as everyone in the cast other than Christopher Walken got nominated. Meanwhile, the Seth Rogen comedy The Studio set a new Emmy record for the most nominations for a first-year comedy, with 23. It helped that Hollywood awards voters are susceptible to shows about their own industry (especially when they're good), and that they're particularly susceptible to celebrities who play themselves. Six of the show's nominations were in the guest actor or actress category, for people like Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, and Zoë Kravitz. (Alas, actress turned director turned actress Sarah Polley wasn't one of those six.) More from Rolling Stone Harrison Ford Is Officially a First-Time Emmy Nominee Bella Ramsey Becomes First Non-Binary Person to Earn Two Emmy Nominations Emmy Nominations 2025: 'The White Lotus' and 'Severance' Lead SURPRISE: Voters didn't punish Season ThreeThe 2024 Emmy telecast ended on a shocking note, as the second season of The Bear — one of the most acclaimed seasons of television in recent memory — lost the Outstanding Comedy Series trophy to Hacks. At the time, it was unclear whether this was the voters punishing the series for category fraud, since it's increasingly hard to justify calling this intense and poignant show a comedy, or if Academy members were annoyed by the more uneven third season, which was released during the voting window for Season Two. If it was the latter, they certainly forgot their animus a year later, since the show landed 13 nominations, including a return visit to Outstanding Comedy Series. SNUB: castThe FX vampire comedy had a decent showing for its final season, with six nominations, including for Outstanding Comedy Series and for the writing of the series finale. But a show with some of the funniest performances of this century will end its run with a grand total of one acting nomination, a 2024 nod for Matthew Berry, who went back to being snubbed like all his hilarious co-stars this year. SURPRISE/SNUB: Katherine LaNasa and Shawn Hatosy for / Taylor Dearden for Everyone expected the critically-adored hospital drama The Pitt to have a big nomination total, and it did with 13 — what would be a huge haul for a rookie show in a year not featuring a series like The Studio. But because Noah Wyle is by far the most famous member of the cast, there was a question of whether he would be the only actor nominated. Instead, Wyle was joined by supporting actress LaNasa (as wise head nurse Dana Evans) and guest star Hatosy (as night shift doctor Jack Abbott). Both are hugely deserving. But if the Emmy voters weren't so fixated on nominating every possible actor from The White Lotus (more on that below), they might have had room for Taylor Dearden, whose performance as anxious resident Mel King made her the year's most endearing new character. SURPRISE: Harrison Ford for Ford's alternately funny and tragic work as an aging psychiatrist with Parkinson's was among the biggest snubs of the 2023 Emmy nominations, so it's a relief to find him on the list this year for his continually terrific work in the second Shrinking season. His co-star Michael Urie joined returnees Jason Segel and Jessica Williams. A good showing all around, as part of Apple's overall huge day. SNUB: Zahn McClarnon for At this point, it shouldn't be surprising that McClarnon keeps being ignored for his towering dramatic work as Navajo cop Joe Leaphorn on the AMC period crime drama. This is the third straight season without a nomination for him. Nonetheless, we'll keep screaming about it, in the hopes that one day he might squeak in the way that Kyle Chandler eventually did for Friday Night Lights, Matthew Rhys for The Americans, and a few other Emmy cases of better late than never. SURPRISE: Jeff Hiller for Somebody Somewhere, HBO's lovely, intimate comedy about life in a small Kansas town, was so small in both scope and audience that perhaps the biggest shock of the day is that it got two nominations for its third and final season: one for writing, and one for Hiller's ingratiating, moving supporting performance as the best friend of Bridget Everett's character. (And while Everett was snubbed for her own acting work, she shared the writing nom with Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen.) SNUB: Once the rom-com Nobody Wants This got three big nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series and stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, there was no room left at the inn for another Netflix rookie, the wise and warm senior citizen comic mystery A Man on the Inside, nor even for its star, Ted Danson. Danson has 18 previous nominations and two wins, and while he's not always a lock to be recognized by his peers (no noms for shows like Becker, Bored to Death, or his stint on CSI), voters loved his previous collaboration with Man creator Michael Schur, The Good Place. SURPRISE: Owen Cooper for That Cooper was nominated is in one way no surprise, since he was astonishingly great in his debut performance as the underaged killer at the heart of the single-take Netflix miniseries. And if you're someone who pays close attention to which actors submit themselves in which categories, his presence in the supporting actor ranks is also not surprising. But it nonetheless feels like category fraud, and a way to potentially get wins for both Cooper and his co-star Stephen Graham, who was nominated as a lead actor. Because there are only four episodes, and no one from the cast is in all four, it's hard to argue that there is a single lead of Adolescence. But Cooper was absolutely a lead of the show, dominating the two episodes in which he appeared in both screen time and presence. SNUB: There are famous cases of classic shows never winning an Emmy, like The Wire, Parks and Recreation, and, most recently, Better Call Saul. But those shows usually got nominated, whether it was only a few (two for The Wire) or a lot (a whopping 53 for Saul). It's incredibly rare for a series to run multiple seasons with intense critical acclaim and never get a single nomination. We can unfortunately add HBO's Italian-language adaptation of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels to a list that also includes Rectify, Review, and Terriers. An incredible show that went wholly ignored, even though Emmy voters have been kinder to foreign language shows in recent years (see the dominance of Shōgun at the 2024 ceremony). SURPRISE: Sam Rockwell for Rockwell's monologue about his character's obsession with Thai ladyboys was easily the highlight of the bumpy fifth Lotus season. So in that respect, his nomination makes total sense, especially since the voters seem determined to nominate as many actors from that show as possible each year. The surprise comes down to him being in the supporting actor group rather than guest actor, though that turns out to be a quirk of Emmy math. Because he was in half of the season's episodes — even if only briefly in some — he's ineligible for the guest categories. (See also Pedro Pascal, who edged over the guest/lead actor eligibility line with a brief appearance at the very end of the fifth episode of this season of The Last of Us.) SNUB: Past Emmy favoritesThe easiest way to win an Emmy is usually to have already won an Emmy, just as the easiest way to get nominated is to be a past nominee. That trick doesn't always work, though. The final season of The Handmaid's Tale — a show with 15 Emmy wins, including Outstanding Drama Series for its first year — only got a guest acting nod for Cherry Jones. Yellowjackets, which got 10 nominations in its first two seasons — including drama series nods both times — was shut out for its third. Squid Game Season Two was also ignored, after getting 14 nominations and six wins for its first season. And Natasha Lyonne, who has five prior Emmy nominations, couldn't get her second nod in a row for Poker Face, whose second season (at least, the half of it that debuted during this year's eligibility window) only got nominations for guest star Cynthia Erivo and stunt work. SNUB: The second season of the Nathan Fielder docu-comedy didn't go home empty-handed, with two directing and one writing nomination. After the first season went unnominated, that's a significant step up. That said, the nomination total feels light for a show that was so talked about this spring. SNUB: [We close the list by welcoming Rolling Stone writer CT Jones to pen this particular objection.] The war between millennials and Gen Z continues apace. HBO's enfant-terrible drama Industry was completely left out of the lead and supporting actor categories, a puzzling oversight a drama that's slowly built to a passionate cult following. Season Three saw actors Marisa Abela, Ken Leung, Myha'la, Sagar Radia, and even new cast member Kit Harrington leave the trading room floor behind for a whirlwind mélange of country clubs, man-child tech founders, green energy IPOs, and gambling. And while the stakes continued to rise, co-showrunners Mickey Down and Konrad Kay coaxed generational performances from each star actor in their solo episodes. Why don't Emmy voters want to see young, hot women succeed in business and possibly murder? It's just not fair.
