Police shot and killed a 20-year-old Monday who was wanted for probation violation, but the man’s brother said he was wearing headphones and could not hear officers’ orders.
Officers were called about 7 p.m. to a 7-Eleven store in Salt Lake City after witnesses reported a man waving a gun around.
Dillon Taylor was walking out of the convenience store with his brother and cousin when officers arrived, and police said Taylor matched a description of the suspect.
Three officers said they ordered Taylor to reveal his hands, but they said he ignored their commands and was “visibly upset.”
Taylor was then shot by police and was pronounced dead at the scene.
His brother said Taylor was wearing headphones and did not hear the officers until they surrounded him.
“He couldn’t hear them, so he just kept walking,” said Jerrail Taylor. “(Then) they had guns pointed at his face. That’s when he turned off the music. I saw them point guns at my brother’s face, and I knew what was going to happen.”
One officer told Dillon Taylor to get on the ground, but another told him to place his hands on top of his head.
“He got confused, he went to pull up his pants to get on the ground, and they shot him,” Jerrail Taylor said.
Police have not said whether Taylor was armed at the time, but his brother insists he didn’t have a gun.
“All this complaining about one of us having a gun, I’m kind of lost at because none of us had a gun,” said Jerrail Taylor.
A warrant was issued last week for Dillon Taylor, who said on his Facebook page that he did not want to go back to jail.
“I feel my time is coming soon, my nightmears are telling me,” he posted. “im gonna have warrnts out for my arrest soon. ALL my family has turned and snitched on me. ill die before I go do a lot of time in a cell,” he wrote. “I feel like god cant even save me on this one … this time coming its me and the demons im fighting.”
But police said officers did not likely know who Taylor was or that he was wanted on an open warrant.
Investigators disputed a witness claim that Taylor apparently tried to run away from police.
“There’s not any initial indication that he was necessarily fleeing,” said Sgt. Darin Sweeten, of Salt Lake City police. “He was not complying with the officers’ orders that they were giving him. It still needs to be investigated.”
Taylor pleaded guilty in 2012 to robbery and obstructing justice after he and another person stole a tip jar from a restaurant and then a 30-pack of beer about an hour later.
He threatened to shoot a witness to the theft, and then he threatened to shoot one of his accomplices and their wife or daughter about a month after the incident.
Taylor, whose fiancée was three months pregnant at the time of his death, served about 14 months in the Salt Lake County Jail in connection with those cases.
The officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave during the investigation.
Aren’t the police supposed to protect and serve!?

Dramatic video has emerged showing Salt Lake City cops firing at least 20 rounds at a 22-year-old man running away from them after allegedly robbing a strip club at gunpoint, according to a report.
Bernardo Palacios-Carbajal was fatally shot May 23 after police responded to a report of a gun threat and chased him for several blocks when he bolted from a motel, the Salt Lake Tribune reported .
“Show me your hands!” one officer yells at Palacios-Carbajal as he starts to flee from the Utah Village Motel about 2 a.m., according to the newspaper.
During their pursuit, the cops shout at the suspect to “Drop it!” — as one officer says he sees something in the man’s pocket.
The footage captures Palacios-Carbajal falling and getting up twice during the chase before he falls a third time, picks up an object from the ground and continues running.
The officers then open fire, hitting him in the back, according to the report.
“Show me your f—ing hands!” one officer shouts at Palacios-Carbajal as he lies on the ground.
Police said they found a weapon near him after he was shot, though it didn’t appear — based on the bodycam footage from the three cops — that Palacios-Carbajal pointed a gun at them, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
“They didn’t have to kill him,” his sister Elsa Karina Palacios told the paper after watching the video Friday. “They didn’t have to shoot him so many times. He was running. He was scared. He would still be here.”
Asked if she wanted to say something to demonstrators in Salt Lake City who have been protesting police brutality, she answered: “I don’t even know what to say. I just wish he was here.”
The family’s attorneys, Jeremy Delicino and Steve McCaughey, said in a statement that Palacios-Carbajal posed no threat to the cops and did not confront them.
“He did not even turn to face them,” they said. “He ran away from them and yet was shot in the back before falling to the ground. And then Bernardo, lying lifeless on the asphalt, was shot more.”
They added: “It is now up to all of us, already grieving over the loss of so many young men to police brutality, to demand change. A change to police tactics … changes to the bias that pervades our police forces.
“A change to the system that has all too often allowed officers to escape discipline and prosecution,” they said.
The two cops who opened fire have been put on administrative leave, which is standard after a police shooting, and an investigation is ongoing, the news outlet reported.
“I trust our training. I trust in the investigative process we have in place to address officer-involved critical incidents. Most importantly, I trust our officers,” Police Chief Mike Brown said Friday.
Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall called for a swift probe so “everyone can get the answers that they deserve in a timely manner.”
Mendenhall, who apologized to Palacios-Carbajal’s family, called the footage “genuinely disturbing and upsetting.”
“Right now, given all that our country is going through, in particular the rawness and fear that so many people of color are feeling, outrage is understandable,” she said.
“We have great work to do in the days and months ahead, and we must channel our collective anger into a process of progress and change,” Mendenhall added.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert said in a tweet that “due process is expected.”
“Until all the facts are in we will not comment substantively on this ongoing investigation. We will, however, always decry disproportionate use of force. If there are findings of misconduct, we expect full accountability,” he said.
The release of the disturbing video came after a week of nightly protests in Salt Lake City in response to the death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police on May 25.
