Police: 4 Arrested In Sean Taylor's Slaying

updated 1 hour, 34 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Police said two men and two juveniles arrested Friday in connection with the shooting death of Washington Commanders star Sean Taylor had gone to the home with the intention of stealing, not killing. The suspects weren't expecting Taylor to be home, said Miami-Dade County police Director Robert Parker, but Taylor was recuperating from a knee injury and had returned home to Miami from Washington. When Taylor surprised them, he was shot.

"They were certainly not looking to go there and kill anyone," Parker said. "They were expecting a residence that was not occupied. So murder or shooting someone was not their initial motive." Miami-Dade police department spokeswoman Linda O'Brien identified the suspects as: Venjah K. Hunte, 20; Eric Rivera Jr., 17; Jason Scott Mitchell, 17; and Charles Kendrick Lee Wardlow, 18.

O'Brien said that the exact charges for each had not yet been determined but "we are talking murder and burglary." They were arrested Friday in southwest Florida, about 100 miles from Miami. They will be booked into the Lee County Jail and will eventually be returned to Miami, she said.

O'Brien did not have any information on when they would appear in court, their hometowns or if they had attorneys. Taylor died Tuesday, one day after being shot at his home in an affluent Miami suburb during what officials said appeared to be an attempted burglary.

Authorities had more than one confession but Parker would not elaborate. "We're looking into whether or not one or more of the individuals had been at the residence before," Parker said. Family friend and Taylor's former attorney Richard Sharpstein said at least one of the men was at Taylor's house when his sister recently had a party, but that Taylor did not know the men.

"It's a burglary and they targeted him for his wealth," Sharpstein said. "It makes his death even more pathetic unnecessary and just, actually disgusting." Sharpstein had not spoken with Taylor's family regarding the arrests, but said he doubted it provided any comfort. "I know they are just saddened and appalled.

The fact that they arrested his killer is no comfort to them," he said. "It probably inflames them more because it tells them people were trying to steal from him. "They are murderers and they should be treated like murderers and put in the Miami River and floated away."

The Miami Herald reported Mitchell and Wardlow both had connections to Taylor. Mitchell cut Taylor's lawn and did other chores at the house, Mitchell's twin brother, Scottie, told the paper. Taylor's sister, Sasha Johnson, dates Wardlow's cousin and that Mitchell recently attended a birthday party for her, the paper said.
A woman who identified herself as Jason Mitchell's mother told the Naples Daily News her son was at a birthday party at Sean Taylor's home a couple months ago. She also said her son was at home all week and last weekend. "I don't know where he's at, I don't know why he's being held," she said. "No parent should see this happen to their child." O'Brien would not confirm the reports when contacted by The Associated Press.

I will say that quite a few athletes have dogs though. Family members will stay at their homes when they are away and the leave the dogs there to protect them.

There's been a confession(s) - - as in multiple.

I thought I'd read there was more than one confession...

This thing starts to make sense, they were targeting a rich guy they thought would be out of town... which is why they weren't bothered with being quiet when they entered the house...

Then, all of a sudden, there's this large black man in boxer shorts, wielding a machete, in their face... panic city, shots get fired wildly, and one of them happens to catch Sean in the femoral artery...

Not entirely a random crime, but apparently not a targeted crime as a result of his past problems...

Yeah, I can believe that it went down this way...

 

[silverbear]

Hopefully clowns like Jason Whitlock will STHU.

Naw, he'll just claim that hip hop made 'em do it...

 

[silverbear]

Great police work in this as they caught the guys responsible very quickly (if this ends up being confirmed).

These young men just screwed up their lives.

I rather hope they just ENDED their lives... this should certainly be a capital murder case, IMO... if so, I'm comforted with the knowledge that Florida is the second most likely state to execute you (Texas being the first)...

Strap 'em into ol' Sparky, and let the fun begin... let Sean's daddy, or his girlfriend, flip the switch...

 

[silverbear]

I missed it, what did Whitlock say?

Lots of self-hating stuff about the "black KKK", and how hip hop is responsible for everything that's wrong with black America... you know, the same bigoted crapola he spews whenever he gets the chance... there is a thread about it somewhere in here...

After looking at $MR.FLORIDA$ aka Eric Rivera's thug mespace page one of his friends has a picture of Sean and this tribute. I just can't believe this. I really hope justice is served.

He MEANT to look like that??

I guess it's true, it takes all kinds to make a world... but when did looking ******** become a fashion statement??

 

[zrinkill]

Makes me sick ..... I hope they all get the chair ...... and I hope they all get their skinny butts "wornout" by some Commander fans in prison until they do.

Well it looks like they were indeed CONNECTED to Sean Taylor; just NOT in the way a lot of us (myself included) thought. One guy who was cutting his lawn and another who had a cousin dating Taylors sister. And one of them had been in the house at a party before. So it was NOT a RANDOM burgalry.
These morons were just plain stupid and just plain THUGS. Why take a gun in the first place- probably part of the whole "gangsta' "homeboy" etc lifestyle so glorified by idiot rappers and their likes.

 

[peplaw06]

Anyone know Florida law and is the death sentence in play.

Probably not as proving the premeditated murder part might be tough in this case.

I'm not familiar with FL law specifically, but IIRC a Felony Murder conviction can carry the death penalty in most states. But Felony Murder doesn't require an intent to murder or premeditation. You're committing a felony and kill someone in the course of that, you're guilty of felony murder with or without intent to kill.

I find it unlikely that they are put to death since they were so young... especially w/ the two juveniles.

 

[burmafrd]

The actual shooter will probably get life, if one of the others roll over on him. The rest will serve 20 years or so. The Juvies are old enough that they probably will be tried as adults.

Nope,I don't see any Hip Hop,black KKK in this pics.
Do you see them glorifying cash money and blunts?
Whitlock is and has been right all along.

Agreed...look at the pictures and then tell me where else have you seen characters like that?
I see them in Hip Hop videos flashing a wad of cash and calling women hoes.
Some here call J Whitlock a moron for speaking the same truth Bill Cosby has been telling for years.

 

[WarC]

Wow, they're holding half a dozen 20 dollar bills like thats special or something.

I mean they act like they ain't neva seen a Hamilton befo.

 

[lspain1]

The glorification of this lifestyle within our culture makes me scratch my head. Regardless of how they got there, these men look like the face of evil to me. Sean Taylor did not deserve this fate.

And people wonder why Whitlock writes the articles that he does.
