No bond for man accused of killing 3, injuring 2
A Florida man accused of killing three of his own family members and shooting two others inside a Palm Bay apartment complex over the weekend faced a judge on Monday. Tashaen Taylor faces three counts of first-degree premeditated murder, as well as two counts of attempted first-degree murder.
"For me being a combat athlete and loving fight sports - when the referee says let me know you're still in the fight, let me know if you're good - you give a thumbs up, said Jason Laigo of Wade Christian Academy. "So for me, that is him consciously telling the community - I'm still here, I'm still fighting."
The triple murder happened on the night of January 20 when officers found three people dead inside.
Taylor is facing three counts of first-degree premeditated murder along with two counts of attempted first-degree murder.
