Michael Taylor, 28, was a North Charleston, South Carolina, painter and a son in a close, church-centered family. Public funeral notices name his parents Michael Deveaux and Barbara Taylor, list siblings, and describe services at a local Baptist center and burial nearby. Those notices emphasize family and community remembrances rather than details of his death.

Obituaries and a national memorial that records firearm deaths place his death on Sunday, November 23, 2014, and state he was lost to gun violence in North Charleston.

If anyone knew Michael, knew where he worked or spent time that November, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
