A member of the Black Guerilla Family gang in Baltimore was sentenced today to 28 years in federal prison for racketeering conspiracy, including murder. 24-year-old Wayne “Taz” Prince became a member of the group in 2018 and was involved in a drug distribution conspiracy, possession with intent to distribute drugs, robbery, and a murder. 

The Black Guerilla Family (BGF) is a nationwide gang which began operating in prisons and is now involved in criminal activity, including murder, murder-for-hire, robbery, extortion, drug trafficking, obstruction of justice and witness intimidation, in cities throughout the United States, including Baltimore and throughout Maryland.

Murder

On August 7, 2018, Prince and two co-conspirators attempted to murder an individual at a home that the intended target owned and was having renovated.  A construction crew was on site at the time.  During the attempted murder, Prince and a co-conspirator shot and killed 27-year-old Bryan McKemy, one of the construction workers using a .40 caliber handgun. They also shot a second construction worker in the head, but that person survived the attack.

Later that day, Prince bragged to an associate during a recorded jail call, “I’m about to get some money soon,” referring to an expected payment from Co-Conspirator 2 for Prince’s role in the attempted murder of the target. 

From August 7 to August 9, 2018, Prince exchanged messages with a now-deceased member of Co-Conspirator 2’s inner circle, in which Prince made arrangements to collect payment from Co-Conspirator 2 for his role in the attempted murder of the target.

Not the smart way to go about your shady business, of course. But Prince by now no doubt realizes he made some huge mistakes.
