Kevin Taylor, 57, was found stabbed to death inside a Fresno room-and-board group home on July 26, 2016. The home served people with severe mental illness; prosecutors said the killing occurred the same night 26-year-old Shawn T. Abrams was to move in — his first night there. Abrams escaped arrest for nearly a year and was taken into custody in May 2017. After several mental health evaluations and a period of treatment at the State Hospital in Atascadero beginning in January 2018, Abrams pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter in a plea deal that avoided a murder conviction and a potential life term.

Under the deal Abrams faces no more than 15 years; his sentencing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 28 in Dept. 32. Few public details are available about events inside the home that night.

Does anyone have information about Taylor’s last day or about the group home’s operations then?
