On January 20, 2024, a shooting at Woodlake Village Apartments in Palm Bay, Florida, killed three members of the Suglam family, including 79-year-old Stephen Suglam. Stephen, born July 1, 1944, in St. The shooting occurred around 9 p.m. when police responded to a disturbance call and found five people shot; Stephen, his daughter 60-year-old Angella Suglam, and granddaughter 31-year-old Lisa Suglam were fatally wounded. Two others survived: 15-year-old nephew Kamauri Curry, reported in critical condition, and 59-year-old Gary Taylor.

Authorities arrested 26-year-old Ta’Shawn Taylor, a relative who lived in the same apartment, and charged him with three counts of first-degree premeditated murder and two counts of attempted first-degree premeditated murder. His family has said he suffers from schizophrenia, and his mental competency to stand trial is now a central issue; prosecutors filed a Notice of Intent to Seek the Death Penalty, calling the killings cold, calculated, and premeditated. If anyone knew Stephen or the Suglam family, or has information about that night, please share what is known.
