Washington Redskins defensive back Sean Taylor died Tuesday morning, a day after he was shot by an intruder at his home in Palmetto Bay, Florida. He was 24.

The one-time standout with the Miami Hurricanes died at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, where he was airlifted after the shooting Monday morning.

He never regained consciousness after the shooting, Sharpstein (his ex-lawyer) said. “It’s a senseless, tragic death that was so unnecessary, another example of the incessant violence in — not only our community — but the country now.”

why does his girlfriend have to be a “bitch that set him up?” maybe she is, maybe she isn’t, but the only thing we know for a fact is that the mother of his baby girl is without her partner, and is mother to fatherless child.

another thought, and it’s quite simple: it’s not a robbery if nothing was stolen, LOL. it was a hit, plain and simple — especially if the phone lines were cut, my God. the fact that someone broke into his house and left a knife on his bed a week prior is indication enough that there was nothing random about this crime at all.

First an foremost R.I.P. This whole story is suspect to me .. The only way I see someone dying from a leg wound is damge to the femoral artery . Secondly, this was someone he knew and the girlfriend know more than she’s telling . I’ll wait to hear more of this story , If the real story ever surface . It’s a damn shame people have no regards for the value of a life . I don’t know what he was into ,If anything but not only did he suffer so will his child and everyone else who loved him .

OKAY THIS IS HORRIBLE GUNS ARE DANGEROUS!. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THIS FAMILY.

With that being said…I have read some of the posts and I have to say that I am in disagreement with those that say negative images, connotations etc. in the media don’t contribute to the activity of various people. GARBAGE in GARBAGE out. Violence and killing folk is glorified everyday. Please know that some fools can’t separate fact from fiction. And frankly why would anyone that has ever been exposed (or not ) to violence, death , poverty and pain even want to have it reintroduced with bullshit imagery. Really people its not enough to feel sorry for folks after the fact.

I have heard a lot of people defending TI’s dumb ass for buying illegal guns for whatever you wanna believe the reason is. But just food for thought…I am so sure that the gun used to kill Mr. Taylor was illegally gotten. When do we stop the insanity? After a death or before. This ish is so real I just saw someone who was shot..susequently went blind as a result of there injuries and has been hospitalized for the last YEAR with various problems. The individual is less the 30 years old. Can you imagine that???? Really can you? Death for some may have been easier. Now really why in the hell would anyone want to hear an idiot rap about guns and butter after hearing and seeing that!?

This is another tragic loss of a young life.
I live here in Miami and the initial reports I heard seem to indicate a home invasion(”he and his wife were awakened by noises and he went downstais to confront the intruder”) I do not know the facts and from reading the comments here it seems that most people don’t either - everyone has his/ her own information.
I would suggest that some of us refrain from trying to justify the taking of this man’s life based on innuendos and rumors.
I am also amazed how some supposedly religious people can spew so much hatred in God’s name. I thought that all of us are supposed to the God’s children and as such that he/she would have unconditional love for us.

I am very, very saddened about our loss of Sean Taylor. I am extremely angry about the violent mind set of a lot of our people. I’m tired of everyone blaming “the white man” for our oppression and poverty, BUT WE ARE OUR OWN ENEMIES. Black people are killing each other; not white people mostly killing blacks. We are killing each other and, believe me, they are laughing about it. My heart breaks every time a young life is stolen.
RIP Sean Taylor

When world events cause you to despair, turn off the news and turn to Scripture. The end of the story has been written by our holy God. Evil will not prevail.

Lord, we praise You for Your displays of power in the
past and Your promises of victory in the future,
for they replace our fear of the world
with confidence in You.

Don’t despair because of evil; God will have the last word.

My heart goes out to the Taylor Family. I do believe that we’re living in the book of Revelations and it’s only a matter of time before Jesus comes back to claim his own. In the meantime, some of us can state “the community can pull together to make a difference”, but when it all comes down to it, it starts at home. People need to stop blaming music and blame the parent’s for raising crazy, heartless criminals. When parents don’t show love or interest during the tender years of a child’s life, they grow up to be resentful and don’t value life. We don’t need the Klan or Al Quaida, we’re doing the job for them. Sorry to preach. Love You Guys!

R. I. P. Sean Taylor and may the angel’s be encamped around your family.

As for you Judah you are not aware of who is reading and writing comments. Yes the subject was about the death of someone who made a change in their life. They found a profound peace within. If you have bible knowledge and then you have the knowledge of what is being said well here is my history…My ancestor’s are Micheal, Job, Mose’s, Abraham, Ruth, Naomi, etc. I don’t want to know your identity because you are not sure of who you are. I’m secure in my identity and it is not givin to the negro’s nor the whites. It does disturb me that you a man of GOD who is negative in which most of your comments are. Yes I am talking too you…

Sean Taylor has left us or should I say this world and is resting. But he leaves behind a child who will never know her father. But with much prayer in which I’m sure you do little of… this child can live out her father’s legacy….So the wall of Jericho that you are putting up needs to come down. Let the trumphet’s sound 7 times around your city….

Are you saying that God could be he/she? Interesting! No…strange!

And where did you get that quote: (”he and his wife were awakened by noises and he went downstais to confront the intruder”)? She wasn’t his wife!!! She was his babies mamma! His hoe!

And, does unconditional love mean that it is an injustice to speculate the taking of this man’s life based on innuendos and rumors? Listen…Sean was our brother! A part of us died when he died! So, don’t start making up quotes and trying to deny people their opinions and right to discern the issues!

Sit on your emotions if you can’t handle the toil!

His death was a setup big time. I wouldn’t be surprise if it was his baby mama (Jackie Garcia) who set him up. I mean Sean doesn’ even have “a will” that means Jackie and their daughter ain’t getting shit. Jackie ain’t getting the house or the cars or the money and she was probably pissed off about that and wanted his ass dead.

186.

CJ

Wednesday, November 28, 2007 /

HIS GIRLFRIEND IS THE KILLER…JACKIE GARCIA. It is sooo obvious she set him up. It could be for sooo many reasons. Jealousy, money, cheating…anything. And if ya’ll heard Sean Taylor didn’t have a will. Sooo his baby mama knew about that shit before he died and she was probably ticked off about that shit. Her side of the story doesn’t sound right. Somethng ain’t right ………She most def set him up. How is someone going to break in his house and only shoot him but not her? If i break into someone’s house i’m killing everyone (besides the baby) because I don’t want any witnesses. Soooo whhhyyyy wouldn’t the murder kill her? She witnessed everything. Sooo she should have gotten shot also. I mean having the covers over your head doesn’t mean shit. And if I was his girfriend I would have taken the baby hid in the bathroom with a gun jumped out shot him three times sooo fast and then got help….hiding under the covers my ass…I’m going to fight to save my family.

don’t be so narrowminded.
it has happened before and very recent
but this time the baby was shot and killed.

Toddler, slain in home invasion, is buried; suspect is still sought
By JANETTE RODRIGUES, The Virginian-Pilot
© November 17, 2007

Ny-Asia Imani Tillmon was her family’s joy – a 1-year-old child with chubby cheeks who was just learning to walk.

She was mourned and buried Friday, after being shot to death last week in her grandmother’s South Norfolk apartment.

Chesapeake Police are still looking for three men wanted in connection with the home invasion in the 3600 block of Bainbridge Blvd.

Wanted fliers for a suspect identified as Shawn Sir Charles Ward were sent to state and other local law enforcement authorities, said Christi Golden, police spokeswoman. Witnesses described the other men as two black males, ages 18 to 21, wearing masks over their faces and dressed in hoodies.

Police have no new leads.

“We received a lot of calls at the beginning of the week as to where he may be, and we are still receiving a couple of calls on a daily basis, but nothing that has led to his arrest,” Golden said of Ward.

The last reported sighting of Ward was in the Campostella Square neighborhood around Parkside Drive in South Norfolk.

Ny-Asia’s family laid her to rest in a Campostella Road cemetery.

@WHAT?? MAybe you wasn’t understanding in what I said…..you’re the dumb ass..yeah she will get a child support check….but what part of a will he does not have you don’t understand?that means she ain’ t really getting any assets of his…wtf and i’m the dumb ass??????? nah i know what i’m talking abou.

Wednesday, November 28, 2007 /

i believe the child will inherit his wealth being she is his offspring, although i am not familiar with the laws of his state. And i dont think she will get Child support… the child will get a social security check… But Dont hold me to that Judah!! Im not an expert on inheritance.

193.

WOW

Wednesday, November 28, 2007 /

Educate yourselves before you speak please.

Escheat: Heir: person, who inherits property from the estate of a deceased person who died without a will.

As a RE in Texas the estate would be passed by the intestate.

in fla..Intestate: Refers to dying without a will or other designation of how one’s property should pass. So…..Intestate property will pass to the decedents heirs. ( his daughter)…
Plain and simple… the child will be Very well taken care of if he has saved ANY MONEY.. and his girlfriend/fiance will be in charge of Her daughters finances to a certain extent.

It was very saddening hearing about this Miami natives home invasion and shooting on Monday evening but hope was that he was holding on to life. Everyone was praying for him to make it. I thought he would but when I got a text message around 7 am that he had passed Tuesday morning I was really disheartened. I saw footage of Sean Taylors father on the news Monday night and he looked choked up about it. The violence has to end. People just dont birth children into this world, raise them up to be the best that God has for them and then let someone rob them out of precious life.

I just finished reading the NFL version of the story and it sounds like he had his run ins with a few people and could have been leaving behind some enemies who were stupid enough to have done this. Its apparent that this was there 2nd time coming to his home and the first time leaving behind a knife on the bed was an obvious threat he shouldnt have taken lightly.

The girlfriend seems to be the first person who comes to everyones mind because she wasnt killed, but I seriously doubt that she had anything to do with it. Other than being cowardly enough to hide under the sheets instead of trying to look at the faces of the murders who killed her daughters father. If she would have identified them she may have been able to put together suspects that could arrest the people behind his murder. Im sure its possible that she may have seen them b4.

All we can do is pray……the world is and will come to an end…no one knows the time or day of their death but everything happens for a reason. It may be inconvenient to some but only God knows the real reason. We cant sit here and blame the music industry or morals and values….I listen to the most hardcore rap and have never had any thoughts or intentions of wantin to hurt anybody. We cant sit here and say I blame the parents because when its all said and done, people are going to do what they want to do in the end. I know people that were raised in a christian home and are now doing drugs and going to jail and carrying on…..things arent getting any better in the world so get your life right now.

Ok Ok, everybody has their own theories about what happened but lets face it, none of us were there. Half of you people got ya’ll stories twisted and the other half are basically talking out of your asses. What kills me is how people and even journalist down here in florida, has so much to say about his run ins with the law. PEOPLE!!!! a man lost his life. Period. His child is now without a father. His father is not without a child. Who cares abour his past. Let us all have some class. What upsets me even more is people who didnt even know this man, says he was flashy and and immature. Some of you even went as far as to say he was a drug dealer. Have ya’ll seen his damn house?? I garauntee you if this happened to someone like Brett Favre who , no one would bring up his addiction to painkillers. Its sad that it has to come from his own people.

I’m not trying to be negative but Sean Taylor was not innocent. He done alot of ish and had enemies. He has been in alot of trouble. The media is trying to play alot of stuff down. He may have calm down but even after his daughter was born he was getting into trouble. There was nothing random about this situation. You’re house is broken into, nothing is stolen, a knife is left on your bed….the next week someone breaks into your home, cuts the phone lines, again, nothing is stolen….wtf? That killing was planned.

I agree with those that said the girlfriend needs to be questioned. Because judging from the stories that has been released, she looks suspicious. Your girlfriend is in the same room but she doesn’t get shot? Nope. Something isn’t right.

@Nandi - Live by the gun, die by the gun. If you are living a certain way, it’s only a matter of time before it comes back around. If the guy he was shooting at a while would have actually been hit by one of the bullets, that would have made him a murderer.

Hearing about the DEATH of Sean Michael Maurice Taylor HURT me DEEPLY. I don’t even know the guy…..I didn’t even know that he existed until it was all over the news that a FOOTBALL STAR died. I don’t even watch football. But I was drawn to know more about him. I don’t know what it is that jus draws me to him. I cried for the past two days. Last night before I laid my head on my pillow I cried even more just thinking about his DAUGHTER Everytime I think about his DAUGHTER my eyes starts swelling and the tears come like a flood and I just can’t stop crying. While I’m sitting here behind the computer I’m started to cry again. People die everyday and I’m trying to figure out what it is about him that got me so choked up. No matter how much I don’t want to cry…I cry…and I will cry alot. I don’t even know this guy…never ever watched him played…no ever really much of a football fan. But Tuesday when I heard about Sean Taylor’s tragic death I was sad at first and then I did some research on him. Learning a little bit of things about him hear and ther. And then I went on youtube.com watching videos of him being on the field..just KICKING EVERYBODY’S ASS. And I’m thiking to myself this is one bad man who really loved in what he did. Then it really started to hit me and the next thing I just started crying. What really got me all chocked up is when they showed a clip o him holding his daughter. His babygirl. DAMN now she is going to grow up without her farther. She isn’t going to have the chance to go to any of her father’s games to cheer him on. Her father isn’t going to be around to get up in the morning to take his baby girl Jackie to school on her first day . His daughter is going to have to understand that her farther isn’t goin to be around when she goes off to middle school and off to hgh school and attending her first HOMECOMING she isn’t going to see her daddy smiling at her when she will look sooo beautiful on her way to PROM with her date. Her farther isn’t going to be around when she starts dating. She isn’t going to have her farther walk her down the aisle on her wedding day. This killer this selfish ignorant killer needs to be brought in. And I’v been praying everyday tha God will help these people find this killer. No I have faith God will bring everything into light and his killer will be found and everyone will be able to let Sean rest in peace. I pray that when Jackie waits until her daughter is old enough to understand in what happen that day when her father was shot and I pray that her daughter will understand in why her daddy is no longer around. I pray that will not resent God for her father’s death but forgive ther person who took her daddy away. Its hard……………
