In the late summer of 2022, 27-year-old Bethany Kay Taylor was shot and killed inside her Bay City apartment at the Bangor Downs Townhouses. Police were called for reports of gunfire on the morning of August 28, 2022; Bethany’s two young sons, ages two and three, were in the apartment at the time.

Authorities identified 18-year-old Lamar A. Davis of Midland as a suspect. Deputies who entered the apartment encountered Davis armed and say he threatened them; a deputy shot Davis and he later died at a hospital. The Michigan State Police took over the investigation and the deputy involved was placed on paid administrative leave while investigators awaited forensic results. A Celebration of Life for Bethany was held on September 17, 2022.

Who knew Bethany or her family and can share information about her life or the events that morning?
