Taylor Caldwell, a 27-year-old resident of West Palm Beach, Florida, was shot multiple times and killed on March 3, 2014, after riding a Palm Tran bus. Surveillance footage shows Caldwell and the assailant, Carvel Glenmore Beadle, disembarking at a bus stop in the 3400 block of Broadway; the video captures Beadle shooting Caldwell in the back several times on the sidewalk. Reports describe the attack as apparently random and unprovoked, with no prior interaction between the two men.

Beadle was arrested and charged with first-degree murder with a firearm and carrying a concealed firearm. Investigators linked him to the scene using the bus surveillance video and fingerprints found on a support pole he had touched before the shooting. Defense attorneys sought multiple mental competency evaluations; Beadle was found competent to stand trial.

Caldwell’s family called him gentle and kind and spoke of their devastation and grief. Does anyone remember seeing the bus or the area around the 3400 block of Broadway that day, or have information that could shed light on why a random encounter turned deadly?
