Max B Found Guilty in 2006 Murder Case

Former Byrd Gang/Dipset associate Max B has been found guilty on multiple felony murder conspiracy charges stemming from a fatal 2006 robbery. The rapper, along with his brother, were found guilty of nine out of 11 counts.

Max's ex-girlfriend, Gina Conway, testified for the prosecution in the rapper's murder trial two weeks ago. According to Conway's statement, Max planned the 2006 murder/robbery in a fit of jealousy after she informed him that her now boyfriend Allan Plowden bought her expensive gifts and "drove a $120,000 Mercedes Benz and routinely carried cash."

The rapper recruited his step-brother Kelvin Leerdam to rob Plowden's Holiday Inn hotel room in New Jersey. The robbery resulted in the murder of Plowden's associate, David Taylor, and the subsequent arrests of Conway, Leerdam and Max B.

Max, whose real name is Charles Wingate, will be sentenced on July 30.
