Notorious family: Diamond Blair, 37, from Kansas City, has been found guilty of second-degree murder in a 2009 robbery attempt

A Missouri man first arrested when he was six has become his family’s fifth convicted murderer.

Diamond Blair, 37, from Kansas City, has been found guilty of second-degree murder in a 2009 robbery attempt.

His uncle is serial killer Terry Blair who raped and killed at least seven women.

A Jackson County jury also convicted Diamond Blair of robbery and armed criminal action in the death of 22-year-old Montague Kevin Ashline on June 24, 2009, outside a Kansas City apartment complex.

The Kansas City Star reports Blair is already serving 23 years in prison for other convictions.

Between the ages of 12 and 16 Diamond Blair appeared in juvenile court for assault, stealing cars and fleeing the court’s McCune School for Boys.

In the six months before turning 16 the newspaper reported that he was charged in four robberies, a kidnapping and weapons violations.

A judge certified him to stand trial as an adult and sent him to jail,

But his reign of terror continued behind bars and Blair and two others sodomized a 15-year-old boy.

Blair is a member of one of Kansas City’s most notorious criminal families.

Blair’s uncle Terry Blair was described as being a a cold, calculating killer determined to kill as many women who worked as prostitutes as he could during his trial.

At the time of his September 2004 arrest, Blair was on parole after serving 21 years for the 1982 murder of his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Angela Monroe, who was the mother of two of his children.

Terry Blair’s mother Janice Miller was charged with murder twice and convicted once for shooting and killing her drug-dealing boyfriend in 1989.

The mother-of-ten raised her children in what Terry Blair later described to a parole officer as poverty.

She went no further in school than ninth grade and suffered from mental illness, court records show.

Another of Janice Blair’s children, Clifford Miller, was convicted in the 1992 abduction of a woman from a bar.
