Jermaine P. Taylor, a 35-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on March 10, 2017, in Aurora, Illinois. The shooting happened just after he left La Flama de Oro restaurant and bar, when an armed man identified as Serafin Castellanos approached and fired a single shot into Taylor’s torso, causing him to collapse.

As the shooter fled, additional gunfire struck 57-year-old Anselmo Fernandez, who was standing in the restaurant doorway, and another man who suffered a permanent eye injury. Investigators say Castellanos targeted Taylor specifically, but the motive has not been made clear.

An arrest has been reported in connection with the attack. Anyone who witnessed the shooting outside La Flama de Oro or who has information about why Taylor may have been targeted is asked to come forward.
