In the Orange Mound neighborhood of Memphis, Tennessee, the life of 34-year-old Jasper Dale Woods, a Black male, was tragically cut short on December 5, 2022. That day, officers from the Memphis Police Department responded to a shooting and found Woods with a gunshot wound. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation into the death of Jasper Woods led authorities to Keveon Taylor.
At the time of the shooting, Taylor was already a person of interest in a separate incident that had occurred just four days earlier, on December 1, 2022. In that case, Taylor was accused of shooting the mother of his child. This prior incident intensified the search for him.
Following the fatal shooting of Woods, law enforcement located and apprehended Keveon Taylor. He was subsequently charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Jasper Dale Woods. Further details regarding the motive for the shooting or the specifics of the legal proceedings against Taylor have not been made widely available in the public record.
