Taylor Leann North, 26, was fatally shot while working a shift at a Circle K in Harvest, Alabama, on February 1, 2025. The attack reportedly lasted less than 30 seconds; a man who had been in the store earlier returned wearing a mask and gloves. After the shooting the suspect allegedly changed clothes and was later found trying to flag down a ride home, and an arrest was made in connection with the killing.

Taylor was a wife and the mother of a five-year-old son, remembered by family as kind, gentle and never seen angry. Her survivors include her husband William North, son Elijah, her parents and an extended family of siblings, grandparents and in-laws. The family held visitation and funeral services at New Hope Funeral Home and asked attendees to wear blue in her memory.

Her family has begun advocating for Taylor’s Law, proposed legislation to require protective barriers for cashiers in retail settings. Does anyone have information about Taylor, her shift that day, or the Circle K location that could help the ongoing inquiries?
