Jeremiah Taylor, 32, was shot and killed in Memphis on Friday, February 25, 2022. Taylor, a U.S. Army veteran, was known in his community for maintaining the memorial to rapper Young Dolph and for being creative, helpful, and kind. Police first went to what looked like a car crash on Getwell Road and found Taylor, the driver, with multiple gunshot wounds; friends say he may have tried to drive himself to a hospital after being shot and crashed into a pole.

The Memphis Police Department opened a homicide investigation and released surveillance images of a black Mercedes-Benz that was seen following Taylor’s car in the moments before the shooting. At the time of the initial reports, no suspects had been identified and police reported no immediate leads. If anyone has information about Jeremiah’s death or the black Mercedes-Benz, please share what you know.
