Georgia Killer Spits at Prosecutors After Life Sentence
A Georgia man, Taco Nash, shocked those in the courtroom by spitting at the prosecution team immediately after his sentencing. He received three life sentences for the fatal shooting of Mi’ckeya Montgomery, the mother of his child, in an incident that unfolded in June 2022.
Nash, 25, was convicted for the killing of 22-year-old Montgomery in a case that revealed a tumultuous and violent relationship between the two. Despite a court order prohibiting any contact between them, Nash repeatedly attempted to reach out to Montgomery on the morning of the shooting, insisting on meeting to reclaim his belongings.
On that fateful day, Montgomery had gone to pick up her 18-month-old daughter from a local daycare in Decatur, Georgia. Daycare staff, aware of the tense dynamics and the protective court orders, were vigilant and prepared to alert authorities if Nash appeared. However, Nash forcefully confronted Montgomery outside the daycare, and the situation quickly escalated.
According to accounts, a daycare employee rushed Montgomery back inside while another called the police. Nash then forced his way into the building, brandishing a firearm and threatening to shoot her unless she left the premises with him. The trio managed to escape through a back door, only to vanish into the nearby wooded area as employees reported hearing screams.
Shortly after, when the police arrived and began searching for the suspects, a single gunshot rang out. Nash emerged from the woods holding the infant, who had been injured by blood but was not harmed by the bullet. Despite Nash’s claim that Montgomery had shot herself, forensic analysis determined that the angle of the gunshot wound made self-infliction impossible, and her death was ruled a homicide.
A jury found Nash guilty on a host of charges, which included Malice Murder, multiple counts of Felony Murder, Aggravated Assault with Family Violence, Kidnapping, Aggravated Stalking, Cruelty to Children in the First Degree, and several firearm-related offenses. After the verdicts were read in a July 2, 2025 trial, Superior Court Judge Brian Lake handed down the severe sentence.
In the aftermath of the sentencing, Montgomery’s family expressed relief that Nash was now “exactly where he needs to be,” while others noted that his volatile outburst in court revealed his true character. The case remains a stark reminder of how personal animosity and volatile behavior can turn a domestic dispute into a public tragedy.
