At Rest

Deadly force
Taylor was shot by deputies at the Crystal Inn. Manager Stephanie Wilson said it's her policy to call police when any guest refuses to leave by the noon check out time. Two deputies went to Taylor's room, asked for ID, but instead of an ID, Taylor allegedly produced a gun and was shot. A deputy was also wounded.
This record exists so that James R. Taylor Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
