On January 20, 2024, Palm Bay police responded to a 911 call reporting gunfire at Woodlake Village Apartments and found five people shot. Three victims died at the scene: 60-year-old Angella Suglam, her husband 79-year-old Stephen Suglam, and their 31-year-old daughter Lisa Suglam. Two others survived with gunshot wounds: 15-year-old Kamauri Curry, in critical condition, and 59-year-old Gary Taylor, with non-life-threatening injuries.

Witnesses and police say Ta’Shawn Taylor emerged from a bedroom armed with a laser-scoped handgun, entered the bedroom where Angella was lying with two children, and opened fire. Angella reportedly yelled for him to stop before being struck in the head. Taylor is reported to have fired additional rounds that hit Lisa and other victims; one survivor pretended to be dead to avoid further harm. Taylor fled in Angella’s black Lexus but was stopped and arrested in Melbourne about an hour later and held without bond.

Investigators are exploring motive, including mental health and domestic issues; family members say Taylor has schizophrenia and had received treatment, and that Angella and Lisa were supportive of him. The Brevard Grand Jury later indicted Ta’Shawn Taylor on three counts of first-degree premeditated murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder; prosecutors filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty on the murder counts. Does anyone have information about the victims, the complex, or that night that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
