Ricardo Taylor was 14 when he was killed in the early hours of September 8, 2014, in Memphis. Multiple gunshots were fired into the family’s brick duplex on the 6000 block of Quince Road; two rounds penetrated his bedroom wall and struck him in the neck while he slept. He was taken by private vehicle to Saint Francis Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Authorities said Ricardo was an innocent bystander. His mother said he was a Pittsburgh Steelers fan and had been asleep, getting ready for school.

The Memphis Police Department investigated and questioned one person who was later released for lack of evidence. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open as police continue to seek information. If anyone knew Ricardo or has tips about that night on Quince Road, please come forward with what can help the investigation.
