Justice in Taylor Case Not Far Away
By Chris Mottram | December 1, 2007
Thankfully, it seems that the search for Taylor’s killers may already be over. Police have arrested four men, and word is at least two have confessed to being involved on some level.
Police spokeswoman Linda O’Brien identified the men as: Venjah K. Hunte, 20; Eric Rivera Jr., 17; Jason Scott Mitchell, 17; and Charles Kendrick Lee Wardlow, 18. O’Brien said the charges for each had not yet been determined, but “we are talking murder and burglary.”
The suspects weren’t expecting Taylor to be home, police director Robert Parker said, but Taylor was recuperating from a knee injury and had returned to Miami from Washington.
“They were certainly not looking to go there and kill anyone,” police director Robert Parker said. He added authorities had more than one confession but would not elaborate.
A tragic story just keeps getting worse. Four kids, out to rob a rich football star accidentally commit murder and ruin the rest of their own lives. Not that I feel sorry for them — they’ll get what they deserve — it’s just that the entire thing was so senseless and completely avoidable.
In other Taylor news, Portis will not be wearing No. 21 this Sunday as was previously rumored.

The latest from the AP speculates that 17 year-old Eric Rivera was the shooter. It also includes this:
“Rivera’s MySpace page appears to reflect a love of money. It is wallpapered with images of stacks of bills, and he’s seen photographed lying in a bed with $100 bills strewn atop him and fanning a wad of money in front of his face. He lists “countin money” among his interests and puts his income at $60,000 to $75,000. He goes by the name “$MR.FLORIDA$”.”
