On February 23, 2014, Daniel Paul Taylor, 23, was shot and killed in Dorchester. Police responded just after midnight to reports of shots fired near 126 Boston Street and found Taylor with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Boston Medical Center and later pronounced deceased.

Taylor and a co-worker, 23-year-old Marquis Smith, had left a work-related event together in Taylor’s car. An argument while driving ended when Taylor stopped the vehicle near Boston and Howell streets. The dispute became physical; Taylor is reported to have exited the car and pulled Smith from the passenger side. During the fight Smith produced a firearm and shot Taylor multiple times, then fled on foot toward the Andrew MBTA station.

The Boston Police Homicide Unit identified Smith as the suspect. On July 30, 2014, Smith was arrested at the valet company where both men worked and charged with murder; he was held without bail. Does anyone have information about the events that night or about Taylor and Smith’s time at VPNE Parking Solutions?
