Football Horror: Three Charged in Taylor Murder

Posted Dec 1st 2007 10:50AM by TMZ Staff

Three of the four suspects in Sean Taylor's death were charged with unpremeditated murder early Saturday. Charles Wardlow, Eric Rivera and Venjah Hunte all faced the same charge. Police say the killing of Taylor was unplanned. The fourth suspect was arrested but has not yet been charged.

Miami-Dade Police Department spokeswoman Linda O'Brien identified the men as: Eric Rivera Jr., 17, Venjah K. Hunte, 20, Jason Scott Mitchell, 19 and Charles Kendrick Lee Wardlow, 18.

Miami-Dade County Police Director Robert Parker said the suspects didn't expect Taylor to be home when they broke into his home Monday morning. The NFL Pro Bowler surprised them and was fatally shot. The suspects -- all of whom have prior arrests -- are expected to make their first appearance in a Fort Myers courtroom sometime today.

50. FIGHT - there aren't enough decent people left in the world to overpower the ignorant pollution that's out there, particularly in America. Your school system has been gutted and pissed on by republicans ... so that your children, especially those of colour, will grow up stupid enough to vote republican, or to not vote at all.

Good luck your moral cleansing, though. Get the upperhand, and I'll be there.

52. what in the hell does this have to do with sharpton and jackson. for the last time, these two do not represent the black community. im black and have never met or want to meet either one. this is a very sad story no matter who committed the crime. prison is too good for this crime. nothing shorter than death

53. Van Halen is hardly giving them a bad name...in fact, I'd say they would agree!

54. Everyone on here trying to reason with people who want to hang people based on their skin colour is wasting their time. They're beyond reason, or hope. I can understand where FIGHT is coming from in that sense, but I hope that overall he's joking. As time goes on, and these people and their children die off, it will get better. It will never be perfect, but it will get better in time, and only in time. For the minorities alive today - I'm sorry for what you have to go through, and what you have to see your children go through, but just hope and know that there will be better days for your childrens' children, and so on. It's all we can really hope and pray for. God bless you all through your struggle, and your eventual triumph.

55. I don't care which racists you start with, and I don't care about people calling people names, even though those names hurt innocent people that have done nothing to you. I care about hangings, and beatings, that are the result of hatred being bred in every way imaginable.

You're not going to offend me, or shut me up - ign'ant ass. Have fun picking on 10% of the population, tough guy.

56. Nick and FIGHT, that makes three of us! The world's already taxed enough and too many resourced are being wasted on the 'proudly ignorant'. To paraphrase Charle Barkley, we should 'rip out the electric chair and install electric bleachers'. Love that sentiment.

57. Hey Van Halen #45 Ever hear of a girl named Paris Hilton or maybe her friend Nicole Richie?????????? Dumb a**!

59. Sorry, 'resources'. My left hand has nerve damage and I can only use and feel one side of it ( seriously). The willfully ignorant are going to destroy this world if we don't stand up and do something! Don't walk away when you can do something about all the negativity in this world. Stand up and FIGHT IT!!! One idiot at a time.
