Killer's disgusting revenge on prosecutors after sentencing
Share and Follow

A Georgia man convicted of murdering his 18-month-old daughter’s mother spat at the prosecution team moments after being sentenced to three consecutive life terms for the 2022 shooting death.

Taco Nash, 25, was forcibly removed from the courtroom following the vile outburst after a DeKalb County jury found him guilty of killing 22-year-old Mi’ckeya Montgomery.

‘Today was the day that they got to see the real him. The rest was a façade…he’s a sociopath,’ said Jasmine Walters, Montgomery’s aunt.

Nash was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, along with two additional life sentences and 60 years for the fatal shooting of Montgomery outside their daughter’s daycare in Decatur on June 15, 2022.

Montgomery’s family expressed relief after the sentencing claiming, ‘He’s right where he needs to be.’

Prosecutors revealed that Nash, who had a violent and problem-riddled relationship with Montgomery, had previously been ordered by a judge to have no contact with her.

Despite this, the young dad repeatedly called Nash the morning of the shooting, asking to meet and retrieve his belongings, according to DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston.

Montgomery ignored Nash’s calls and went to pick up their 18-month-old daughter from daycare where staff, aware of the court order, was told to call 911 if he ever appeared at the business.

Nash confronted Montgomery outside the daycare before eventually forcing his way into the building and threatening to shoot her if she didn’t leave with him and their daughter.

During the aggressive back-and-forth, an employee at the Education Elevation daycare facility called the police, The New York Post reported.

Nash, Montgomery and their daughter Khloe, then exited the daycare through a rear door and headed into a wooded area behind the facility.

Employees still inside the childcare center reported hearing screams and a single gunshot as police arrived and began searching the area.

Nash emerged moments later holding the blood-covered child and claimed that Montgomery had shot herself.

However, investigators determined that Montgomery’s gunshot wound to the head was inconsistent with self-infliction, ruling her death a homicide.

The gun was found under her hand, and police believe she was holding her daughter when she was killed. The child, who was not injured, was rushed to the hospital.

Before Nash emerged from the woods, he called one of Montgomery’s relatives, apologizing for the shooting, according to the District Attorney.

Following a trial on July 2, 2025, Nash was convicted of Malice Murder, four counts of Felony Murder, Aggravated Assault – Family Violence, two counts of Kidnapping, Aggravated Stalking, Cruelty to Children in the First Degree, and several firearms-related offenses, WSB-TV reported.

DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Brian Lake imposed a sentence of life without parole, two additional life sentences, and 60 years, marking the end of a lengthy legal battle for Montgomery’s family.
