Mac Minister was profiled on an episode of America's Most Wanted, allegedly responsible for the murder of Anthony "Fat Tone" Watkins in Las Vegas, Nevada, in retaliation for the murder of Bay Area hip-hop icon Mac Dre. After a 10-month manhunt, Mac was apprehended by Andrew Thirlaway on the evening of March 2, 2006 while hiding out in a San Francisco apartment, becoming AMW Direct Result Capture #879.[1]
Mac Minister is from San Francisco, California, the Fillmore District - a neighborhood also known as "The Fillmore", "FILLMOE", and "the Moe". He lived in the Marcus Garvey/Martin Luther King Jr housing complex and his apartment was entered in two police raids in 1999, one in which his pitbull was shot and killed by the police officers.[2]
Dow was convicted along with his friend Jason "Corleone" Mathis of two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder. The trial lasted less than a week. Both men received sentences of life without parole.[3]
The bodies of the victims were later found riddled with AK-47 bullets at a construction site outside of Las Vegas. MGM Grand security cameras documented Minister leaving the hotel with two men just hours before the slaying.
Police immediately sought to question him, but the veteran rapper went on the lam, prompting a 10-month manhunt. The case was featured prominently on America's Most Wanted before Mac's capture on March 2, 2006.
He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on July 31, 2008.[4]
New Trialedit
On June 8, 2022 court documents were published online that reveal that Dow has been granted a new trial. This after a key prosecution witness against Dow by the name of Antione Mouton, recanted his testimony, stating that he made statements incriminating Dow in exchange for receiving favorable treatment for his own pending criminal cases.[5]
