Amber Nicole Willis, 24, was found dead in her Tell City, Indiana, home after shots were reported at a residence on Antler Lane late the night of Saturday, February 12, 2022. Officers arriving shortly after 11:00 p.m. encountered a shattered glass sliding door and spent bullet casings; they entered the house after announcing their presence and found Willis in a bedroom with what appeared to be a fatal gunshot wound and no signs of life.

Investigators identified Willis’s 24-year-old ex-boyfriend, Phillip Taylor, as a person of interest. He was located in the English, Indiana area the following morning around 8:30 a.m., was arrested without incident, transported to the Perry County Jail, and charged with Willis’s murder; he was held without bond.
