Taylor – as well as at least one of the other shooting victims – were students at Imhotep Institute Charter High School.
"The Imhotep Institute Charter High School family has a heavy heart today," Imhotep said in a statement last year. "The last 24 hours have been our greatest fear, one of our young kings killed by gun violence. Dayemen Taylor had a joyful smile and loved our school as we loved him.”
