On the evening of July 30, 2019, 18-year-old Seth Lamar Taylor was shot outside a Pulaski County liquor store after an altercation that law enforcement says escalated to gunfire. Detectives reported Taylor was with a 15-year-old and believe the shooting may have come from one car to another; witnesses said the car Taylor was in was later found in a ditch and the younger teen was dropped off down the road. Taylor had been attempting to sell marijuana, according to police. He died of his injuries; the 15-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening wounds.

Investigators identified 18-year-old Seth Allen as being involved in the robbery and shooting and charged him with capital murder. Taylor was a recent honors graduate of Sylvan Hills High School, a National Honors Society member and football player, remembered by family and friends for his smile and laughter.
