On November 26, 2007, at 1:45 a.m. EST, Taylor was shot in the upper leg by an armed intruder at his Palmetto Bay, Florida home, where he had been recuperating from a football injury. He was mortally wounded in his femoral artery. His long-time girlfriend Jackie Garcia, niece of actor Andy Garcia, hid under the bedding with their 18-month-old daughter, also named Jackie. Garcia then called 911 from her cell phone.
Taylor was airlifted to the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, where he underwent surgery. He emerged from surgery about 12:30 p.m. He had lost a significant amount of blood and remained unconscious and in a coma. His doctors speculated that he may have suffered brain damage due to the blood loss, and an unnamed Redskins source reported that Taylor's heart stopped twice during the emergency surgery.
On November 27 at 3:30 a.m., Taylor died at the hospital. The news was released to the media by Richard Sharpstein, a family friend, who learned the news from Taylor's father around 5:30 a.m, and by Taylor's agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
