Demond Taylor, 34, was shot and killed on the evening of June 20, 2008, while driving and stopped at a light at Page and Academy Avenues in Saint-Louis, Missouri. Taylor was off-duty at the time and worked as a police officer for St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley. Investigators say he was mistaken for a member of a rival gang and was ambushed by gunfire from another vehicle; the shooters fled the scene.

The case went cold for many years despite repeated interviews and evidence reviews by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI. Three different witnesses later identified the same man as the shooter, and those consistent eyewitness accounts led to an arrest. In August 2025, 46-year-old Brandon M. Levy was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; court records show he was released on bond days after the charge.

Does anyone have information about Taylor’s life, where he worked, or sightings around Page and Academy Avenues on June 20, 2008?
