He left, but then returned 30 minutes later wearing a mask. That’s when prosecutors say video surveillance showed him opening fire on the cashier with a semiautomatic pistol with an extended magazine.Taylor was already prohibited by law from possessing a gun due to his “extensive violent criminal history,” the DA’s office said. “Today’s life sentence delivers accountability and affirms our commitment to public safety,” DA Oliver said. “Repeat violent offenders must face serious consequences, and our office will continue to pursue justice relentlessly to protect this community.”Mom of 3 who was found alive after going missing 24 years ago taken into custodyPCSD ‘refocusing resources’ in Nancy Guthrie investigation
