Sean Taylor's death adds another tragic mark to Miami's football program

MIAMI - Sean Taylor was familiar with West Perrine, a low-income, high-crime area 16 blocks south of Miami.

He lived in Homestead, a more secure and comfortable area 20 miles away, but at one time he lived two miles away from West Perrine with his father.

West Perrine is where Taylor and his friends went on June 1, 2005, to confront two men whom he believed had stolen two all-terrain vehicles from another friend's home in the neighborhood. Police claimed that Taylor got out of his Yukon Denali and pointed a gun at the two men and demanded that they return the ATVs. The police report said Taylor then left and returned later, hitting one of the men with his fist.

Finally, Taylor and his friends drove to the home of a friend in the area. While they were there, someone drove by and sprayed several shots into the house, and a few rounds ripped into Taylor's Denali parked outside. No one inside the house was hit. Police never found the shooter."

BUT...

His tragic death had, tragically, absolutely positively beyond a shadow of a doubt within all bounds of human reasoning nothing to do with any prior relationship with his tragic killers.

Tragically gotcha.
