Makiyah Wilson's mother on the latest arrest: “This guy — he played a big role. He played a big role. He is one that is supposed to — from my understanding— orchestrated a lot of big things." -Donnetta Wilson

Court records indicated Taylor was involved in purchasing the car used in the shooting and sent a message to Quentin Michals on the day of the murder stating: “Let’s go do wat we do.” #MakiyahWilson @wusa9

Investigators also found messages between Taylor, Michals, and Thomas that showed Gregory Taylor had at least two of the guns used in the shooting

Thomas allegedly wrote, “Aye you got both da handguns?”

Police said Taylor responded, “under couch.” @wusa9

“That’s my child. I never can get her back. I can never go visit her. I can’t. With them, even though they’re going away for a long time, they’re still breathing. They still could talk to their mom...I can never do that again with Makiyah.” - Donnetta Wilson #MakiyahWilson @wusa9

Taylor is expected to have his first court appearance on Thursday at 2:00 p.m.
Michals and Thomas are also expected back in court on Thursday morning for their preliminary hearings.
