A July 24, 2015 dispute over money at the Antler Lodge, a social club on Chenango Street in Binghamton, New York, ended when 33-year-old James High was shot outside the club. He was taken to a local hospital and died later that day.

Police identified Joshua Taylor as the suspect, and about a month after the shooting he was located and taken into custody. Investigators recovered a handgun believed to be the murder weapon, concealed under a nearby staircase. Taylor was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon; he rejected a plea offer that would have reduced the murder charge to manslaughter with an 18 years to life sentence.

A Broome County jury first convicted Taylor of murder and weapons possession after a two-week trial in September 2017, but an appeals court ordered a new trial because the jury instructions on direct versus circumstantial evidence were found improper. In the retrial in December 2021, Taylor was again convicted; he was sentenced in March 2022 to 25 years to life. Anyone with information about James High, the Antler Lodge that night, or the events leading up to the shooting is asked to come forward.
