The victim's girlfriend, who admitted to having a previous relationship with Taylor, told officials Taylor was hiding in the bushes when she and the victim were walking along the sidewalk near her home on the 1300 block of Olson Memorial Highway.
The woman said she threatened to call the police, and then Taylor pulled out a semi-automatic pistol and shot the victim in the abdomen.
