In the early evening of June 3, 2015, Dr. Luke Nelson Taylor III, a 44-year-old African American man, was found lying in the roadway on Ivy Lane near Southern Boulevard in Montgomery, Alabama, after suffering a fatal gunshot wound. Officers and emergency personnel arrived after a call around 9:25 p.m.; Dr. Taylor was pronounced dead at the scene. Initial investigation indicated the shooting was preceded by an argument.

A community member and respected professional in Montgomery, Dr. Taylor’s sudden death left family and neighbors seeking answers. On August 27, 2015, police arrested 24-year-old Marquis Martin of Montgomery and charged him with one count of murder; Martin was held at the Montgomery County Detention Facility on $75,000 bond. Does anyone have information about Dr. Taylor, the argument that led to the shooting, or events on Ivy Lane that night?
