Taaqi Khaliyl “Fame” Brown, 36, of Philadelphia, was sentenced to 7 to 14 years in prison after pleading guilty to felony charges of burglary while threatening to commit bodily injury and strangulation in connection with the March 21, 2024, assault at the victim’s residence along the 7600 block of Massey Way in Cheltenham Township, Mainline Media News reported.

According to the story, Brown forced his way into the home, bound the victim with zip ties, and threatened her at gunpoint. At the time of the assault, he was on parole after serving more than a decade in prison for third-degree murder in connection with the 2009 fatal shooting of a man in Upper Darby, Delaware County.

Cheltenham police said that Brown rang his ex-girlfriend’s doorbell, and when she answered, he pushed his way inside while pointing a semiautomatic handgun at her.

“The victim stated that Brown repeatedly spoke and pleaded to the victim about working to restart their relationship. The victim advised she ended her relationship with Brown due to his aggressive and unstable behavior,” Cheltenham Police Officer Matthew Bugieda wrote in the arrest affidavit. “The victim states that Brown was waving the firearm around during their conversation.”

At one point, Brown told the victim “You’re finished” and “nobody is getting out of here.”

Brown used zip ties to bind the woman’s hands and shoved socks in her mouth and then placed duct tape over her mouth, Mainline Media said. He also pressed a firearm against her head.
