Pastor of secretive religious group charged in murder of 4-year-old Colton boy says he now fears for his life

His Way Spirit Led Assemblies pastor Darryl Muzic Martin, charged with murder in the death of 4-year-old Timothy Thomas, begged to be placed in protective custody in jail on Tuesday, Feb. 10, after his attorney said, “The whole Crips gang is meeting as to whether he is going to live or die.”

Attorney Eugene Carson made the plea to Superior Court Judge Colin J. Bilash after the fourth day of testimony in the preliminary hearing for five members of the secretive religious order who are charged with murder.
