Cardell Taylor, a 40-year-old Black man, was fatally shot at about 4:45 p.m. on October 19, 2020, at his residence on Phlox Street in Houston. Police found Taylor with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead on arrival. Investigators say a black, newer-model sedan drove past and fired several shots before fleeing the scene. No suspects have been identified and the motive is unknown.

At the time he was killed, Taylor was out on bond facing a murder charge for the September 30, 2020, shooting death of 47-year-old Bruce Wayne Ferguson at Ferguson’s home on Schevers Street. That case alleges Taylor drove to Ferguson’s residence, engaged in a verbal altercation and fired multiple shots, then fled in a white Chevrolet Malibu. Some have suggested Taylor’s killing could be retaliatory, but there have been no arrests.

If anyone knew Taylor, Ferguson, or witnessed the October 19 shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
