Joseph Edward Gomes-Brandon, Jr. (Waxx)

Joseph Edward Brandon (Waxx) is an 18 year old that forms one-third of the rap group along with Killa and DK from the West Haven, Florida area. They are the known for being the perpetrators that assaulted and murdered 21-year old, Tyler Eugene Macklin. [undefined]

Murder

Waxx, Killa, and Dk headed out to Tyler's house, who is known among felons and hoodlums in the community as a small-time drug dealer.

DK was friends with him on Facebook and conceived the idea of visiting his home with plans to rob him.

The strategy to breach Tyler's home appeared like the best option in order to attain greenbacks for their artistic plans.

All three headed out to make him a visit.

Once they arrived at the scene, DK remained in the car.

The other two approached the home and broke down the door to Tyler's house.

According to reports, it was (Waxx) who owned the handgun and the one who shot Tyler. [1]

The motivation behind the murder was apparently to rob an ideal volume of cash necessary to flash at their live concert and music video.

The total cash they stole according to reports was only $300.

Brandon has previous arrests for grand theft, burglary, and violation of probation.

Brandon and Felix (Killa) are charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery, armed burglary, and conspiracy.

Tyler allegedly pleaded for his life and according to a witness, expressed to the rappers to take the money: “Hey, you don’t have to do this, my wallet is right there".

But he was killed in cold blood.
