How they died
Deadly force
A sheriff's deputy and a state trooper approached a tent pitched in a drainage ditch by I-10. According to the Madison County Sheriff's Office Deputy David Myers ordered a transient man named Rudy G. Taylor out of the tent. Taylor opened the flap and began to exit with a shotgun pointed in Myers' direction. Florida Highway Patrol Trooper John Sleigher shouted, "Gun," drew his weapon and fired. Myers also began firing and fell down. The two fired 17 times into the tent and struck Taylor nine times and killed him.
