Donadony Blake Taylor

Deadly force

Donadony Taylor was first spotted in the lobby of the jail armed with a metal pipe and a stake. A police officer later responded to a report of a man tampering with cars in a parking garage and encountered Taylor, still armed with the pipe and the stake. Taylor brandished the pipe like he was swinging a baseball bat while the officer held him off at gunpoint. Taylor refused to drop the pipe, and the officer tasered him, to no effect. As Taylor was pulling out one the Taser probes, the officer shot and killed him.
