Daily News | Philadelphia man convicted of murder-for-hire plot to kill a drug rival
A Philadelphia man who prosecutors say orchestrated a murder-for-hire plot then planned to kill the man he had hired to carry out the crime was convicted Monday of murder and related charges.
Jackson, who goes by the nickname “Major Change” and had agreed to pay $5,000 for the hit, sent a picture of his rival to the would-be assassin and had several conversations about how the crime would play out, authorities said. When they pulled Jackson over near 65th Street & Guyer Avenue, he did not have the agreed-upon payment of $5,000, authorities said, and he was carrying a ghost gun loaded with 16 bullets. Prosecutors said Jackson was not on his way not to pay for the murder, but rather to kill the man he had hired to carry out the hit.
