Taylor L. McKee was 20 and from Union, Ohio when she was shot and killed on February 3, 2017, in Dayton. The shooting occurred at the Trotwood home of her boyfriend, Tyrell Duante Erby, who was 18 at the time. Taylor was found with a gunshot wound to the chest and was taken to a hospital, where she died.

Erby initially told police she had been shot while walking outside but later admitted the shooting happened inside his bedroom and said it was accidental. Investigators say Erby tried to hide the gun, a casing, and ammunition before officers arrived; he was arrested and held on bond. A Montgomery County grand jury indicted him on reckless homicide, tampering with evidence, and obstructing official business, with a firearm specification.

The case proceeded to trial and Erby was convicted of reckless homicide; he also pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence and obstructing official business and received a prison sentence. If anyone knew Taylor or has information about what led to that night, please come forward.
