Report: Three Detained in Sean Taylor Homicide

Friday, November 30, 2007

Three people have been detained for questioning in connection with the death of Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, the Miami Herald reported Friday.

The three men — a teen and two people in their 20s — are from the Fort Myers area, the paper reported.

They learned of Taylor's home, in the affluent Palmetto Bay neighborhood, from someone who bragged about the football player's wealth, the paper reported.

Taylor was shot in the leg while at home early Monday morning during an apparent burglary. He died early Tuesday after losing too much blood.

Three Detained in Sean Taylor Homicide

Miami-Dade detectives have detained two teenagers and a man in his 20s in Lee County for questioning in the death of Washington Redskins football star Sean Taylor.

Investigators believe the young men learned of Taylor's house through someone who unwittingly set up the burglary by bragging about the football star's wealth.

The suspects include 17- and 19-year-olds and a 26-year-old. All hail from the Fort Myers area.

The former University of Miami star was not supposed to be home at the time of the break-in. While the Redskins played in Tampa, he had come home to get a second medical opinion on his injured knee.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents and at least two Miami-Dade homicide squads have been in Fort Myers and they picked up the young men Friday morning.

Taylor was shot early Monday by an intruder who surprised him in the bedroom of his Palmetto Bay home.

Taylor wielded a machete as he tried to protect his fiancée, Jackie Garcia, and their 18-month-old baby girl. The two were hiding under the covers as Taylor was shot.

One bullet pierced the wall. The other struck Taylor in the groin, severing his femoral artery and causing massive blood loss. He died at about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Put them on the field without pads on and let every fully suited player on the Redskins' roster get a free shot.

If they did it....

I hope this isn't a case of "meets the description" arrests where they try to make a quick arrest and take any easy target.

People shouldn't over-react to this

It is just for questions.

We ALWAYS over-react when the police do this in big cases but in reality, police bring in people all the time for questioning INCLUDING murder cases like this one.

I just hope they can find the right people and put them away. Of course, nothing will make Taylor come back, but hopefully at least some justice will be served.

Am I wrong in saying that from what I've heard, it may have just been a random burglary gone bad?

That's what I had heard.
