On January 19, 2023, at about 1:30 a.m., 48-year-old Nicholas Sharkey Phillips and 52-year-old Michael Bernard Moore were fatally shot outside the Villages of Briggs Ranch apartment complex in West Bexar County, near San Antonio. Both men sustained multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office reported the shooting likely followed an argument over car keys, indicating the victims and suspects knew one another. Forty-two-year-old Sheryce Wiley-Taylor was arrested that day and charged with capital murder after initially identifying herself as a witness. Deputies later named her son, 25-year-old Deleon Malik Taylor-Griffin, as a person of interest; he was later apprehended and also charged with capital murder. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Wiley-Taylor searching the victims’ vehicle after the shooting before leaving with her son.

Are there readers who knew Phillips or Moore, or who have information about what happened that night?
