According to the New York Daily News, Campbell -- who was arrested earlier this year -- copped to possessing a firearm as a felon and receiving a firearm in interstate commerce.
The May 25, 2016, shooting took place before a scheduled T.I. concert, leaving three injured -- including rapper Troy Ave, with whom Taxstone had a public beef -- and Troy Ave's bodyguard Ronald McPhatter dead.

While the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office did not charge the 31-year-old, who hosts the interview podcast Tax Season, with murder, prosecutors told the judge that Campbell brought a firearm to the venue and fired multiple shots, including the one that killed McPhatter.

McPhatter died from his injuries in the shooting, and prosecutors also say DNA from Troy
Ave, Ronald McPhatter and Darryl Campbell all show up on the murder weapon.
Previously, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office have charged Troy Ave with attempted
murder for his involvement in the shooting, which the rapper reportedly contended as self-
defense.
Tax initially given $500,000 bail, but it was quickly revoked after the government implied
there would be more serious charges filed against him. Oddly enough, those charges, such as
assault or murder, have yet to be given.

The podcaster’s lawyer has claimed that Troy Ave is the one who should still be behind bars
without bail, as he is the one who was seen holding the gun in security footage from the
fateful evening. McPhatter’s family has also blamed the rapper for his bodyguard’s death.
