Billy Rashun Taylor was 18 when he was found shot to death in Fayetteville, Tennessee, on the night of March 31, 2022. A recent Lincoln County High School graduate with a scholarship to Martin Methodist College, he was described as a promising athlete remembered for his kindness and smile.

Officers initially responded to what was believed to be a car accident on Maple Street West and instead found Taylor inside a car, shot multiple times in the head. Investigators determined he had been shot from outside the vehicle while driving his girlfriend’s car to a store; the attack was described as targeted rather than random.

A $6,000 reward has been offered for information. If anyone knew Billy, saw activity on Maple Street West that night, or has information that could help, please come forward.
