Sean Taylor, Washington Redskins safety died early Tuesday, November 27, 2007 a day after he was shot at home by intruder. Taylor died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he had been airlifted after the shooting early Monday morning.
“His father called and said he was with Christ and he cried and thanked me,” said Sharpstein, Taylor’s former lawyer. His father, Pedro Taylor, is police chief of Florida City.
24-year-old Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died early Tuesday, a day after the Pro Bowl player was shot at home. “According to a preliminary investigation, it appears that the victim was shot inside the home by an intruder,” Miami-Dade County police said in a statement. “We do not have a subject description at this time.”
But police were still investigating the attack, which came just eight days after an intruder was reported at Taylor’s home. Officers were sent to the home about 1:45 a.m. Monday after Taylor’s girlfriend called 911.
Sharpstein said Taylor’s girlfriend told him the couple was awakened by loud noises, and Taylor grabbed a machete he keeps in the bedroom for protection. Someone then broke through the bedroom door and fired two shots, one missing and one hitting Taylor, Sharpstein said. Taylor’s 1-year-old daughter, Jackie, was also in the house, but neither she nor Taylor’s girlfriend were injured.
Police found signs of forced entry, but have not determined if they were caused Monday, or the previous burglary.
The shooting happened in the pale yellow house he bought two years ago. Eight days before the attack someone pried open a front window, rifled through drawers and left a kitchen knife on a bed at Taylor’s home, according to police.
“They’re really sifting through that incident and today’s incident,” Miami-Dade Detective Mario Rachid said, “to see if there’s any correlation.”
Taylor, the fifth overall pick in the 2004 NFL draft following an All-American season at the University of Miami, was shot early Monday in the upper leg, damaging the key femoral artery and causing significant blood loss.
After Taylor was drafted, problems soon began. Taylor fired his agent, then skipped part of the NFL’s mandatory rookie symposium, drawing a $25,000 fine. Driving home late from a party during the season, he was pulled over and charged with drunken driving. The case was dismissed in court, but by then it had become a months-long distraction for the Redskins.
Taylor also was fined at least seven times for late hits, uniform violations and other infractions over his first three seasons, including a $17,000 penalty for spitting in the face of Tampa Bay running back Michael Pittman during a 2006 playoff game.
Meanwhile, Taylor endured a yearlong legal battle after he was accused in 2005 of brandishing a gun at a man during a fight over allegedly stolen all-terrain vehicles near Taylor’s home. He eventually pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to 18 months’ probation.
On the field, Taylor’s play was often erratic. Assistant coach Gregg Williams frequently called Taylor the best athlete he’d ever coached, but nearly every big play was mitigated by a blown assignment. Taylor led the NFL in missed tackles in 2006 yet made the Pro Bowl because of his reputation as one of the hardest hitters in the league.

Sean Taylor, a 24-year-old free safety with the Washington Redskins, was shot and seriously injured at his Miami home.
The shooting occurred about 1:45 a.m. in his home in Palmetto Bay, an upscale section of Miami, said Kathy Webb, a spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade police. Mr. Taylor appeared to be the victim of an attempted robbery, police officials said.
He was flown by helicopter to a trauma center at Jackson Memorial hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery and was listed in critical condition. Taylor was hit by at least one bullet in his femoral artery — a major blood vessel in the thigh.
Sean Taylor was a star football player at the University of Miami — earning the Big East Conference Defensive Player of the Year award — and was selected fifth over all in the 2004 National Football League draft by the Washington Redskins.
The team signed him to a seven-year, $18 million contract, and he is widely considered one of the toughest and best young safeties in the league. Although sidelined for the last two weeks because of a knee sprain, he leads his team this season with five interceptions.
Taylor has drawn attention for more than his playing ability, most notably in 2005. In June of that year, he was arrested and charged with felony assault after the authorities said he pointed a gun at three men outside a house in West Perrine, a rough neighborhood south of Miami, and accused them of stealing two all-terrain vehicles from him.
According to the police and witnesses, Taylor, accompanied by an entourage, assaulted one of the men and made death threats before driving off. Minutes later, a group of men drove by his parked GMC Yukon Denali and sprayed it with bullets from an AK-47 and a pistol. Taylor’s vehicle was empty at the time, and the gunmen were never identified or arrested.
Taylor was accused of spitting on yet another player from an opposing team, this time Michael Pittman of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, during the first round of the playoffs. He was ejected from the game and fined $17,000. It was an unfitting end to what should have been a triumphant day for Mr. Taylor, who scored a touchdown that helped propel the Redskins to a 17-10 victory and a spot in the next round of the playoffs.

Five people killed in Temecula, California shooting, November 11, 2007
A shooting at a home left five people dead Sunday in what authorities said could be a murder-suicide.
Police officers responding to a shots-fired call at about 5:20 p.m. found two men and two women shot dead at a house on a cul-de-sac, Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Dennis Gutierrez said. A fifth victim, a woman, was taken to a local hospital where she later died.
Two of the victims were found inside the house, the other three on a patio outside, Gutierrez said.
Gutierrez said neighbors told investigators that all five people lived at the house. None of the victims have been identified.
Gutierrez said investigators believed one of the victims was also the shooter.
The shooting brought temporary chaos to the usually quiet street next to a golf course in a neighborhood full of retired people.
“I don’t think we’ve had anything like this happen in this city,” Gutierrez said.
“I was in the kitchen cooking. I heard bam. I thought it was a golf ball,” neighbor Maureen Fowler, 54, told the Riverside Press-Enterprise. “Then I heard, bam bam bam. That sounded like gunshots to me. Then I heard all the sirens and saw the tape.”
Temecula is about 50 miles north of San Diego.
