How they died
Deadly force
According to HPD, Officer Richard Kennedy approached Taylor, who fit the description of a robbery suspect, while working an extra security job. Taylor yelled at Kennedy and ran away. Kennedy and backup officers chased him to the backyard of a house. There, he ignored orders to surrender and attacked officers with a knife in each hand. Kennedy shot him. Though officers called for paramedics, Taylor died at the scene.
