Kaylee Taylor, 26, was found shot and face down at the end of a cul-de-sac in the 9100 block of Woodland Oaks Drive in northwest Harris County on the night of September 8, 2025. Deputies arrived around 9–10 p.m. after an unknown man called 911 to report a woman in the street. Emergency personnel confirmed two gunshot wounds to the back of her head; nine shell casings were recovered near the body but no firearm was found at the scene.

The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences took custody of the body for autopsy to determine cause and manner of death. Detectives said there were no witnesses to the shooting, no immediate motive, and no suspect named or arrested as of the latest update. Neighbors and a friend who arrived after the shooting helped identify Taylor and provided context about why she might have been in the cul-de-sac, but the area’s vacancies and lack of surveillance footage hampered the early investigation.

Authorities asked anyone with information to contact homicide detectives or Crime Stoppers — did anyone see Kaylee Taylor in the Woodland Oaks Drive area that evening or have information that could help investigators?
