James M. Taylor was 23 when he was shot and killed on June 24, 2010, in Chicago, Illinois.

Taylor’s death is presented as one of many homicides that year, part of a pattern of gun violence that disproportionately affected young men in the city. His killing is described in the context of broader efforts by law enforcement and community leaders to address persistent violence and its root causes, and as an example of the toll such violence takes on families and neighborhoods.
