Jermaine Taylor, 41, of East Falmouth, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest alongside General Patton Drive in Hyannis in the early morning of January 27, 2018. A Barnstable police officer on patrol spotted what at first looked like a person passed out around 2:27 a.m.; Emergency Medical Technicians began chest compressions at the scene and Taylor was taken to Cape Cod Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Cape & Islands District Attorney’s Office said Barnstable Police and Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the office were investigating the death as a homicide. Authorities did not release a motive or an exact manner of death at the time, and no arrests were announced immediately after the discovery. Taylor had been released from prison on January 1, 2018, after serving a ten-year sentence for drug convictions and was living with his family in Falmouth when he was killed.

Does anyone have information about Taylor, his movements in late January 2018, or who might have been in the Hyannis area that night?
