A tragic incident unfolded last night when a female security guard was shot and killed in Taylor. The victim, whose duty was to serve and protect as a private security officer, was found deceased in a parking lot adjacent to a business on Trolley Industrial Drive, according to Taylor police, Detroit News reports.
Authorities received a distress call at approximately 11:40 p.m. yesterday, later discovering the woman with a lethal wound inflicted by gunfire. In response to her death, which disrupts the quiet narrative of a city with no reported murders for the years 2022 and 2023, a suspect is presently in custody, though details about the circumstances have been withheld as investigations continue, ClickOnDetroit confirms.
The business location near Interstate 94, which became a crime scene, was swiftly contained by Taylor police following the 911 call last night. The identity of the woman has yet to be disclosed as officers work to clarify the events that precipitated the fatal encounter and understand how the suspect, now arrested, came to cross paths with the security guard whose shift concluded in tragedy, Audacy reports.
