While on that scene, someone else called the police to report three different burglaries on the other side of the complex. Police found doors kicked open and another man, 30, stabbed multiple times. The stabbing victim told police the person who stabbed him ran into nearby woods.
Just before 2 a.m., police got a call to a nearby convenience store and found Taylor armed with 2 knives. They said he'd stolen beer and pulled a knife on security.
Police said Taylor did not follow commands, did not drop his weapons, and kept getting closer to traffic and people in the area. Officers used pepper balls, a bean bag launcher, pepper spray, and a Taser before firing their weapons. They also said Taylor threw one of the knives at an officer.
They said that because officers thought he posed an imminent threat, they had to take action.
